9 Museum Openings Worth Planning Trips Around in 2020

"Come November, Western Australia will see its history reimagined when a $261.6 million complex devoted to the plants, animals, and people of its region opens in Perth. The project incorporates parts of the area’s existing Western Australian Museum Perth—including four heritage-listed buildings that have been refurbished—and also sees to the addition of a new state-of-the-art museum, effectively tripling the size of the former institution. The purpose-built space will feature eight new galleries, including a space devoted to touring exhibitions, plus learning studios and a new retail boutique and café. International design studios Hassell and OMA are behind the wildly imaginative project, whose cavernous spaces, gold glass, and metallic finish were, according to press releases, inspired by the wild landscapes of Western Australia. In that same spirit, forthcoming exhibitions will spotlight the state’s rich mineral heritage and celebrate its Aboriginal culture."

Took the time to visit Boola Bardip Museum and by chance they had a special exhibit of the Qin terracotta warriors. It was a very well presented exhibit with a very beautiful, very serene visual representation of the proposed afterlife of the emperor. Following that the museum was very informative with the specifics of WA and the geology of the area and the mineral rich land it occupies. If you have the time it is worth a visit.

I visited about two hours before closing, so it wasn’t crowded and I could enjoy the exhibition at a relaxed pace. The displays were very impressive and made me feel as if I had actually traveled to China. The history was explained in detail through videos and exhibits, which made it very interesting. Many of the displayed items were made of precious metals and still shone beautifully, which was hard to believe considering their age. I’d love to come back next time to see the permanent exhibitions as well.

Great museum with plenty of interactive parts to keep the kids entertained throughout. We were luckily enough to visit when the Teracota Warriers were on display which was amazing to learn about and see. We really enjoyed our visit.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the Terracotta Warriors exhibition at WA Museum was way more impressive than I imagined. Seeing these ancient warriors up close was mind-blowing — the details and history behind them are just incredible. The exhibition is laid out really well, with lots of interesting info and interactive displays that make the whole experience come alive. It’s not too crowded, photos are allowed, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. If you’re in Perth, this is definitely something you shouldn’t miss — I left feeling like I’d just travelled back in time to ancient China!

Absolutely loved the Terracotta Warriors Exhibition 🤩 Being able to see these 2,000+ year-old treasures up close was incredible — history really came alive. Perfect for kids and adults alike, with informative displays and a really engaging setup. Recommend for a family outing or anyone fascinated by ancient history!

I mainly went to learn more about the aboriginal community and had the opportunity to take the tour with Aprita, and it was absolutely worth the trip. I had no idea about their sad history until my visit to Australia, and hearing bits and pieces along my travels has been eye-opening. Having the WA history being brought to light for others to learn about directly from an aboriginal was impactful for me. I wish Aprita all the best and hope she never loses her passion.

I spent 5 hours in this museum but I could have stayed there for longer if my feet didn’t hurt. There’s so much variety and there’s interesting expositions for all ages: kids to adults. Greatest room imo was the whale skeleton!

Took the grandchildren to see the Terracotta Warriors exhibition. What a sight to see these 2000 yr. old soldiers and horses plus lots of other artefacts. I recommend going to see it for yourself. I've only included a few photos so as not to spoil it for you. And it was really well run by very helpful staff. Also has a gift shop.
