Entry to WA Museum Boola Bardip in Perth, WA Maritime Museum in Fremantle, and Gwoonwardu Mia Gascoyne Aboriginal Heritage & Cultural Centre in Carnarvon—which usually come with a fee—will now be free, joining the WA Shipwrecks Museum in Fremantle, Museum of Geraldton, Museum of the Goldfields, and Museum of the Great Southern, which already offer free entry year-round.
As the summer school holidays roll around—the longest break of the year—there’s no better time to grab your family and friends and get to know the most extraordinary, long-told and surprising stories of Western Australia.
It’s never been easier to tick a few museums off your bucket list or come back to your favourites again and again. No tickets, no pre-booking, no hassle—just drop by and discover something new every time with free general admission.
Also this summer, visitors can explore WA Museum Boola Bardip’s latest exhibition, Spinifex People: Art and Stories from Pila Nguru, and the WA Maritime Museum’s digital experience, Empress Joséphine's Garden, for free. Just a heads-up—bookings are required for Empress Joséphine's Garden.
If you’re yet to have your museum moment, or it’s been a while, it’s time to grab your diary and start plotting your next adventure.
