WA Museum Boola Bardip

Went to see the terracotta warriors exhibition, had a snack at the cafe, then spent some time looking at some exhibits. The terracotta warriors exhibition was fantastic and showed much more than just the soldiers. We got there at lunch and bought tickets at the counter no troubles, our walk through took about an hour and was a bit crowded at times but manageable with a bit of patience. Cafe had quick service and a good range of options. We wish we left more time for the other exhibits but the ones we got to see were well curated with plenty of interaction and insight - my favourite was the Wild Life section! Could easily spend a full day to explore, but could do a rush-free half day if you pick 2-3 sections.

Interesting museum focusing on the history and flora and fauna of WA. There are lots of interactive and audio-visual exhibits. So you could easily spend a morning or afternoon at the Museum. The highlight of my visit in October 2025 was seeing the entrants in the Lester Prize. Multiple or return visits can be made as an annual membership is the same cost as a day General Admission ticket when I visited. Staff and volunteers were welcoming and helpful.

Great morning here. They have some of the Terracotta Soldiers on display. Great exhibit which starts with around 5 to 6 minutes of intro talk and video. Enought information but not too much so well judged. Loved the exhibit itself. Very well presented. If you get chance to see before end if 22 Feb 2026 then do go and see it.

Enjoyed the museum and the Terracotta Warriors exhibition. Plan to come back and do more. Only negative was lack of drinking fountains. Had to go down the street to convinence store as at the cafe cost $10 for 750ml bottle! Otherwise was enjoyable and had seats for sitting nicely scattered throughout.

All the place was clean and there plenty of things to see. From the attacks from the axis in WW2 to the harbours of Australia, some facts about the local fauna (Mostly, spiders), and many things of the Aussy culture. The only thing that One have in Count, it's the time of waiting, some days there will be so much people, but after all, everything was cool.

Particularly visited to view the Chinese Terracotta Warriors before it leaves Perth on 23/2/26. Bought a discounted ticket ($7.50) to view the general museum collections after visiting the TC exhibition, well worth a visit to the general exhibitions. Visited the cafe too 👍

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.

Excellent precinct to see an exhibition. Somewhat difficult access at present with renovations around the museum and library areas. The terracotta warrior display could have run better if people are able to go in and out freely without being in groups. This is done successfully in Brisbane with the Egyptian exhibition. Maybe they could look at this next time.
