Our Story


News Coverage

 

Shaping Perth

In this exhibition we single out individuals whose personal stories shape and shed light on our recent history. We hear from outsiders who fought their way into tight-knit communities to become leaders, stories of childhood wonder, great discoveries, enterprise, bold ideas and every-day experiences that fill our memories.

 

Demolished Icons

This exhibit looks at these demolished icons of Perth with a history of the building and what subsequently replaced it when it was destroyed. Most were demolished between 1960 to 1980. Some historic buildings remain intact and, thankfully, Perth's city skyline now has a blend of old and new.
