We know the big questions Western Australia faces. Who do we trust to answer them?
As crucial holders of our natural and cultural heritage knowledge, museums the world over count amongst the most trusted institutions.
Knowledge of the past informs our understanding of the present and provides tools to shape the future. The integrity and the moral and ethical principles of our museums are key to the trust in which they are held – and key to the role they can play in answering the big questions we face.
The WA Museum has long been a trusted source of knowledge in the WA community.

Working together to support WA Museum's role in the community
