WA Shipwrecks Museum About What's on Long Term Exhibits Opening Hours Getting Here Access Education Branch | Updated 4 years agoThe WA Shipwrecks Museum is recognised as the foremost maritime archaeology museum in the southern hemisphere. The Museum is housed in 1850s-era Commissariat building and has since been restored to its historic glory. Steeped in history, the galleries house hundreds of relics from ships wrecked along WA’s treacherous coastline, including the original timbers from Batavia (wrecked in 1629), the de Vlamingh Dish, and also countless artefacts from the Dutch shipwrecks Zuytdorp, Zeewijk and Vergulde Draeck. COVID-19 UPDATE At the Western Australian Museum, the health and safety of our visitors, volunteers and employees is our priority. We have a COVID-19 Safety Plan in place and we are following Government advice. More information.
