THIS GALLERY HAS CLOSED AS WE PREPARE FOR THE NEW MUSEUM OF WA.

Museum staff and volunteers are busy packing all the objects in this gallery.

They will be protected at our Collections and Research Centre or displayed at our other sites while construction works take place.

Find out more about the New Museum for WA and explore our State collection online.

Open until late December 2015

From the forest dwelling parrots to coastal birds, this gallery explores the amazing variety and diversity of Western Australia’s birds.

The Bird Gallery features in the Jubilee Wing of the Western Australian Museum - Perth, a high-ceilinged Victorian-era room bathed in natural light. The display is glass encased and removed from the wall, to enable viewing from all angles.
