Old Gaol Museum, Historical prison museum in Western Australia.
The Old Gaol Museum displays numerous artifacts and exhibits within the preserved cells and corridors of a former nineteenth-century prison complex.
The structure transformed from an operational correctional facility into a cultural institution in 1962, marking a shift in the region's approach to historical preservation.
The museum exhibits detail the experiences of both inmates and staff through documented records, personal items, and preserved architectural elements.
Visitors can explore the museum during regular hours from Wednesday to Saturday, with guided tours available upon request for groups of ten or more.
The museum maintains an extensive family history section containing records and documents cataloged by local historians since its establishment.
