WA Museum Boola Bardip

Meet the new kid on the (arts precinct) block. While the Perth Cultural Centre may ooze charm from its red brick and old-timey buildings, the WA Museum Boola Bardip was meant to stand out with its edgy modern architecture that interconnects and wraps around its older neighbours. Opening in 2020, Boola Bardip means “many stories” in the language of the Nyoongar people native to the area. The museum houses eight galleries, each with its own distinct area to explore. While many of these are reserved for showcasing Western Australia’s rich history, incredible flora and fauna and Aboriginal Culture, the museum also plays host to a whole heap of travelling exhibitions like antiques from the Netherlands or relics from Ancient Egypt.
