Brasshead from the British Museum, Extraordinary Stories exhibition, WAM
Western Australia has needed a new museum for a long time but complaining that the displays were dated, the history gallery ‘sad’ and the conditions dismal, did nothing to convince the WA Government to find the money for a new museum.
Instead of relying on a barrage of complaints, the approach that has delivered a $438 million commitment to build a new museum was much more optimistic and capacity-driven, said WA Museum (WAM) CEO Alec Coles.
