The spectacular new WA Museum in the Perth Cultural Centre has added an Aboriginal name – WA Museum Boola Bardip. Boola Bardip means ‘many stories’ in Noongar language.
The name recognises that the museum sits on Whadjuk Noongar land, and honours the cultural heritage of Australia’s First Peoples. It also acknowledges the shared cultural heritage of the nearly 2.9 million people who call Western Australia home.
It is anticipated that there will be huge demand to visit, and so 50,000 free, timed tickets for the nine-day opening celebration events will be allocated from an online ballot, which opens today (September 7). To be among the first visitors to the new WA Museum Boola Bardip, people should register for the ballot on the museum’s website at
The ballot will be open until the end of this month, closing on September 30. At that time, ticket holders will be randomly selected. Anyone without a computer or an email address can call 1300 134
