Talks
Step into dynamic conversations that bring big ideas to life with WA Museum Boola Bardip’s Talks Program.
Explore bold questions, fresh perspectives and fascinating stories, led by people who are passionate about what they know. Hear from inspiring voices across science, culture and creativity as they share their work through storytelling, conversation and close connections to museum objects. These are not lectures, but shared experiences, designed to be engaging, accessible and thought‑provoking.
Meet the Museum invites you to hear from curators, scientists, researchers and historians as they share their stories, discoveries and objects they care about most.
Dive deeper into the themes, artefacts and questions that sit at the heart of our temporary exhibitions and displays with Exhibition and Guest Talks.
Many talks include opportunities to ask questions, share perspectives, and linger afterwards, to keep the conversation going.
