About this activity

History is so much fun to learn, so why not change up the learning through books, and learn through exploring fascinating museum exhibits! The Western Australian Museum in Albany is all about giving kids a fun learning experience through exhibitions and programs. At the museum, you can read about the unique natural and social history of Western Australia, and everything that makes it great!

Each exhibit covers a different theme or event, and it's worth allowing a few hours to really explore everything it has to offer.

Kids - do you know much about the early settlers and convicts of the region? Now is your chance! You can also explore the unique natural landscape, fauna and flora of the region too. It's pretty special!

The Western Australian Museum also shares important stories from the indigenous Noongar people, as well as the influence of Mokare who was a young Noongar warrior. A beautiful way for kids to be inspired in life!

There are permanent exhibitions within the museum, so you can always go back to your favorite. Kids can enjoy hands on, interactive fun at the Discovery Centre, or kids can experience learning in an old one teacher school room. Kids - t's must different to what you are used to these days! Can you imagine sitting with your friends on those wooden desks?

The Western Australian Museum also has temporary exhibits, so there is always something new for you to explore on your next visit. These topics have ranged from War at Sea, to Mudlark Metals!

History is waiting for the whole family at the Albany museum - so let's get out there and get learning!
