Went to see the terracotta warriors exhibition, had a snack at the cafe, then spent some time looking at some exhibits. The terracotta warriors exhibition was fantastic and showed much more than just the soldiers. We got there at lunch and bought tickets at the counter no troubles, our walk through took about an hour and was a bit crowded at times but manageable with a bit of patience. Cafe had quick service and a good range of options. We wish we left more time for the other exhibits but the on

Great morning here. They have some of the Terracotta Soldiers on display. Great exhibit which starts with around 5 to 6 minutes of intro talk and video.

Interesting museum focusing on the history and flora and fauna of WA. There are lots of interactive and audio-visual exhibits. So you could easily spend a morning or afternoon at the Museum. The highlight of my visit in October 2025 was seeing the entrants in the Lester Prize. Multiple or return visits can be made as an annual membership is the same cost as a day General Admission ticket when I visited.
Staff and volunteers were welcoming and helpful.

Excellent precinct to see an exhibition. Somewhat difficult access at present with renovations around the museum and library areas. The terracotta warrior display could have run better if people are able to go in and out freely without being in groups. This is done successfully in Brisbane with the Egyptian exhibition. Maybe they could look at this next time.
