Perth museums
Best museums in Perth
A useful museum list for Perth city days, rainy days, families, history lovers, and Fremantle side trips.
Perth has a compact but strong museum scene. The easiest plan is to start in the Perth Cultural Centre, then add Fremantle if maritime history, prisons, and port heritage interest you.
Top Perth museums
- WA Museum Boola Bardip
- Art Gallery of Western Australia
- Fremantle Prison
- WA Maritime Museum
- WA Shipwrecks Museum
- Scitech for families
- The Perth Mint
Best museum plan
Spend the morning at WA Museum Boola Bardip and the Art Gallery of WA, then use another half day for Fremantle Prison and the maritime museums.
Good to know
Some museums are free, while Fremantle Prison tours and the Perth Mint usually require paid entry. Check opening days before building a museum-heavy itinerary.
