The Western Australian Museum's city site, in the heart of the Perth Cultural Centre, is the major cultural storehouse for the State. The museum is a key to the natural and cultural heritage of Western Australia.

Step back three and a half billion years by viewing micro fossils, found in the Pilbara, which represent the earliest evidence of life on Earth.

The museum can also introduce you to Aboriginal culture and Western Australia's birds, butterflies, mammals, and meteorites. It will tell you stories of the influences and changes wrought by European settlement on the region's social and natural environment.

In addition to its permanent exhibitions and collections, the Museum hosts a series of changing exhibitions. The museum aims to advocate knowledge about the collections through exhibitions and publications.
