Presented by the WA Museum Boola Bardip
Meet the Museum: The Old Perth Gaol.
At the heart of WA Museum Boola Bardip stands the Old Perth Gaol, the site of our first Museum building, and a space with a very complex, and often dark history.
Despite this, it is a space with very little interpretation.
Join Bec Weldon from the Boola Bardip team in exploring the history of this heritage-listed space, from its lifespan as a colonial Gaol and use as an early 19th and 20th-century museum, to its contemporary use, and the changing meanings which underlie its occupation.
