Visit the Western Australian Museum — Perth and discover the rich history of our buildings and collections.
The Museum is conveniently located in the Perth Cultural Centre and within walking distance to the Perth train station. Schools might like to consider combining their museum excursion with a visit to the Art Gallery of Western Australia, State Library of Western Australia or the State Theatre Centre of Western Australia.
Our education experiences reach beyond the collections with lively presenters, engaging activities, fascinating facts and objects to examine.
Our Education Officers will take students on a memorable learning adventure, bringing the exhibitions and objects of the Western Australian Museum — Perth to life with experiences that will inform, entertain and inspire.
Where else can your students unearth a buried T-Rex fossil, reconstruct the face of an extinct predator, wrap an Egyptian mummy, examine Aboriginal artefacts, examine amazing animal species or travel back in time to explore early settlement?
All facilitated programs are led by an Education Officer and must be booked in advance. Programs occur daily at 9:45am, 11:00am and 12:15pm and are approximately one hour in duration, depending on the age of the students.
We recommend that you also allow additional time to explore the galleries in the Museum. You may like to supplement your visit with self-guided resources.
Visit the Museum and explore the galleries in small groups at your own pace.
Explore our galleries with one of our interactive story books, made just for little explorers and their adult helpers.
