The WA Museum’s flagship site, Boola Bardip, has been named as a finalist in the 2024 Perth Airport WA Tourism Awards.

Following the Museum’s outstanding success in 2023 winning both the Major Tourist Attraction and Cultural Tourism categories, the WA Museum has nominated again for both categories.

Since reopening to the public in November 2020, the WA Museum Boola Bardip has fearlessly shared diverse narratives, promoting cultural understanding and creating an inclusive and accessible visitor experience.

Boola Bardip was designed with a global tourism audience in mind and brings to life unique stories of WA, its people, its dramatic landscapes and its extraordinary biodiversity. Launched nationally and internationally, it is an extraordinary building in an extraordinary state.

WA Museum CEO, Alec Coles said it was great recognition for the WA Museum Boola Bardip to be a finalist for the second year in a row.

“We are so proud of what Boola Bardip represents and contributes to tourism in Western Australia. To be recognised as a finalist again, is testament to the Museum’s commitment to providing an exceptional visitor experience. It is something to which all our staff are dedicated, and I applaud them”

"Congratulations to all the tourism businesses who have been announced as finalists. Every one of these is a credit to Western Australia. They exemplify what makes WA such a special place.”
