Embedded in the fabric of our community
The WA Museum strives towards being at the heart of our community. Why? Because an informed and engaged community can work together for a better future.
The WA Museum creates a sense of belonging, gives our community members a voice, and creates emotional connections. The Museum is a place for learning and shared experiences, and a space of shared origins and history.

Working together to support WA Museum's role in the community
The work of the WA Museum touches the WA community in so many ways. In October, a dig team travelled to the Pilbara to recover rare Diprotodon fossils. While the main aim of the trip was to recover the fossils for future scientific research, the team interacted with many members of the Pilbara community - local school groups, mine site staff, Rangers and more.
