This exhibition explores relationships between people, the land and the natural environment. Find out how these interactions have shaped the history of Western Australia.

Stories of Western Australia’s past and recent present are illustrated with fascinating and important historical objects.

The exhibition is set within a magnificent heritage gallery space - the former Public Library building (Hackett Hall) which opened in 1913.
