With its mix of heritage and contemporary architecture and vibrant communal spaces, the WA Museum Boola Bardip celebrates the unique culture, history and landscape of Western Australia and contributes to revitalising the creative heart of its capital, Perth.
The new museum is designed as a series of virtual ‘stories’ that guide visitors through the major galleries to experience more of the state’s collections. Two intersecting loops mean visitors can explore the museum through vertical and horizontal pathways.
Hassell + OMA brought together designers from around the globe in one unified Perth team to create a place that reflects the distinct Western Australian landscape.

“I think this is one of the great cultural developments that we will see in this nation for many years, and a great opportunity for Perth.”

Our purpose is to design the world’s best places – places people love.
Globalisation, climate change, urbanisation, and digitisation present new opportunities and challenges for how we live.
In this fast-changing context, we bring together the best designers and thinkers in a unique collaborative process that results in both beautiful design and measurable value.
We work across architecture, landscape architecture, interior design and urban design - a rich multi-disciplinary mix of skills and perspectives that unlocks the economic, social and cultural value of projects.
We combine our creative design expertise with capabilities in strategy, research, technology and experience design, and we regularly collaborate with experts and partners from further afield.
Through our work, we’re trying to build a more inclusive, sustainable future for communities - and create a more socially and ecologically resilient world.
Our clients look to us for more than our design skills. They want us to help them unlock value for their business and their end users – and find ways to better connect people.
