The WA Museum Boola Bardip has officially opened in Perth, Australia. The A$400 million museum features exhibitions and experiences celebrating the stories and culture of Western Australia.

WA Museum Boola Bardip features eight permanent exhibition galleries, as well as learning studios, a special exhibition gallery, retail, public spaces and F&B. The museum is a new milestone for the cultural institutions in Perth known as the Perth Cultural Centre.

The new museum was designed and constructed by managing contractor Multiplex in alliance with architect companies Hassell and OMA. The project involved renovating five heritage buildings to form the new building for WA Museum Boola Bardip.

Mark McGowan, premier of Western Australia, commented: “The new WA Museum Boola Bardip is simply spectacular. I have no doubt Western Australians will be blown away by its stunning architecture and fascinating exhibits.

“It is a world-class museum by any standard and one that we can all be proud of,” McGowan added.
