We came on a rainy day, parking wasn’t easy to get even on a wet day. Parking ticket machine wasn’t properly marked, we couldn’t see that it was there, became an expensive day for us. Customer service was excellent, can’t fault any of it. It’s not a big museum but quite well designed, kids loved it. They need to put up a proper signage for parking machine, surely we weren’t the only one who got fined because of lack of signage.
I came to the WA Maritime Museum for the Empress Josephine’s Garden exhibition, and it was beautiful. The storytelling and narration beautifully depicted Josephine Bonaparte’s life, her contributions to the botanical world, and her influence on the style of her era. Such a stunning and immersive experience.nnI also took some time to explore the rest of the museum, which was super informative and educational. It does a great job showcasing Western Australia’s rich maritime history.nnThere’s a nice café and gift shop at the front, and parking is easy with the Wilson Paid Parking right outside. Definitely worth a visit :
Had wanted to go here since we moved to Perth as Gage Roads is a favourite watering hole.nBeautifully designed building and heard about some cool items on display, however on arrival is in serious need of internal re-design and lighting upgrade/maintenance.nnThe exhibits were shockingly dark and terribly lit, lamps and globes in numerous places were blown or failing - we had to get our phone torches out to see in some cabinets - something I've never experienced in a museum before.nThe lay out didnt flow at all, with lots of dead ends and labels to the photos or artifacts were also terribly placed or non-existent. So even if you could see what was on display, good luck finding out what it actually was.nHaving said that, the replica of the Australia II is gorgeous and very impressive, even if all you can mainly see is it's hull and the manikins onboard look totally cooked.nWe did enjoy the upstairs maritime displays, but again, the lack of adequate lighting takes from the experience - especially the shark half in the dark.nUnfortunately the submarine was out of action during our visit, but I would probably go back for that at a later date.nWorth $15? As a local, I guess. But I would be embarrassed to take visitors to it in its current state.nLet me know when the lighting is fixed or if you need a new lighting designer!!
Was on my to do list for our Freemantle tourist visit. This is a destination location and worth a visit by itself. Lots of other tourist destinations nearby in Freemantle to compliment coming here. We only did the $15 admission which was sufficient for us. Other fees allows you to do other exhibits. We spent about three hours here. Lots of info and exhibits. Lots of 3 hr parking nearby. HINT - the parking inspectors are dynamite and you will be booked if your parking expires. We were ok but every other car around us was wearing a $65 parking fine for expired parking. The E Shed market is nearby so slot that on your itinary as well being so clise. Enjoyed my time here. Not exceptional but worth visiting and the admission fee.nStay well and travel safe.
Pretty compact museum with quite a lot of exhibits. Submarine tour was sold out unfortunately, we were told they are released around 9am every morning so try to book tickets to that early! Otherwise my favourite exhibit was the megamouth shark. We spent less than an hour there as we didn’t read all the panels in detail.
