Your Museum - Your WA, a Museum for our future

Western Australia is a truly extraordinary state with breathtaking diversity and a geological record stretching back hundreds of millions of years. The Western Australian Museum is at the forefront of research, study and presentation of this amazing natural resource – Sir David Attenborough

Extraordinary things happen at the Western Australian Museum – thanks, in no small part, to the generosity of our valued supporters.

Help us to expand our research, protect our species, celebrate our culture, grow our collections, educate the community and showcase WA to the world. Support us to preserve the rich legacy of our past while contributing to the future understanding and protection of life on Earth.

The WA State Government has committed nearly $430 million to develop a New Museum for WA, find out how you can get involved by visiting the Foundation for the WA Museum website. We appreciate your generous support.
