  Great place for adults & kids. Brig Amity more suitable for kids, especially less than 1200 mms tall ones. There's not much room mid-ships. Mind yer head!

  We had a look at the pearl exhibition and the main building. A lot of interesting information boards and artifacts to see. Well worth the $5 donation.

  Great place to visit. Lots of interesting exhibits as well as free activities for the kids. They do have some more complex activities as well for a small fee. At the moment they have the 3D Antarctica experience which is amazing. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

  Particularly enjoyed walking around in the brig (ship) outside. The portable commentary handsets were a great idea. In the museum itself we were greeted by a very friendly lady. I found the exhibits on the central/South American civilisations really interesting and kids were allowed to draw and paint items from that time which was fun. The other exhibits were also interesting and thought provoking. A great place to come on a rainy day!

  The Western Australian Museum’s long and fascinating history reflects and documents the State’s rich and diverse natural and cultural heritage.
  
  Established in 1891 in the old Perth gaol, it was known as the Geological Museum and its collections were geological, ethnological and biological. In 1897 it officially became the Western Australian Museum and Art Gallery.
  
  During 1959 the botanical collection was transferred to the new Herbarium and the Museum and the Art Gallery became separate institutions. The Museum focused its collecting and research interests in the areas of natural sciences, anthropology, archaeology and the State’s history. Over the 1960s and 1970s it also began to work in the emerging areas of historic shipwrecks and Aboriginal site management.
  
  Today the Western Australian Museum comprises six public sites and a collection and research centre and houses more than 8 million objects from rare fossils to the iconic racing yacht Australia II.
  
  The Museum also manages 200 shipwreck sites of the 1500 known to be located off the WA coast and manages eight Aboriginal land reserves.
