Membership
Western Australian Museum’s membership program
If you’re 16 years or older, sign up for one of our annual membership options starting from the price of a single admission, and get UNLIMITED general admission entry into WA Museum Boola Bardip and/or WA Maritime Museum.
You’ll also receive heaps of additional benefits, including discounted exhibition tickets, pre-sale access and invitations to member-only events.
Keep an eye out for our WAM Member logo across our site to unlock your benefits.
General admission for children aged 15 and under is free to all WA Museum sites and does not require a membership. However, the Museum offers a Junior ‘Friend’ membership, which entitles the holder to special exhibition discounts and supports the Museum in developing new public programs, innovative experiences, and conducting important research about Western Australia and our world. Full details below.
