Western Australian Museum Boola Bardip

The Western Australian Museum spans multiple floors featuring geology, natural sciences, Aboriginal heritage, and regional history collections across different exhibition spaces.

Founded in 1891 as a geological museum in the Old Perth Gaol, the institution underwent a major transformation with a 500-million-dollar renovation completed in 2020.

The name Boola Bardip originates from the Noongar language, reflecting Western Australia's commitment to preserving and sharing indigenous knowledge through museum exhibitions.

The museum operates daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, offering guided tours, educational programs, and special exhibitions with varying admission fees for different visitor categories.

Five heritage buildings integrate into the modern museum complex, including the original 1855 Old Perth Gaol structure that housed the first geological collections.
