Western Austalian Museum.. progress.



While in the Perth Cultural Centre last week I took a few shots to show the progress of the new WA Museum due to open in 2020. Both pics taken from the window of the State Library of WA. A traditionalist at heart even I have to concede that the new museum will look stunning, see third shot, although the last time we visited a few years back here, here and that marvelous original staircase here, it looked pretty much perfect to me then :) I'm happy to say the Old Perth Gaol and Hackett Hall will be incorporated into the new design.We will reserve judgment and wait and see :) Happy Tuesday, take care and stay safe..

  7. The building's going to be a beauty by the looks of the poster ad. The crane looks like a toy in your photo. :)

  9. That is going to be spectacular if it looks anything like the proposal, Grace!
    I have no idea what the style of that house would be - looks a bit like something from Amsterdam to me.

  10. We can only hope it looks as splendid once finished as it does in the artist's impression.

  13. Well, Grace, I think it will look great indeed (though it was great the way it was, sometimes I wonder why destroy something good instead of just starting anew?)...

  14. I guess I am more of a traditionalist too Grace, but it does look like the new building will be amazing!

  16. I too like the heritage feel but sometimes things have to give over to modern convenience. It looks like the result will be good.
