International Museum Day 2025, The Future of Museums in Rapidly Changing Communities.
This year’s theme invites us to reimagine the role of museums as essential connectors, innovators, and stewards of cultural identity.
Have you checked out Boola Bardip’s Digital Public Art Program?
This project explores Aboriginal storytelling through digital mediums, reflecting on displacement, returning to Country, cultural knowledge and intergenerational storytelling.
Showing on the Hackett Hall and Francis Street façades, the digital works are part of a public art program designed to expose emerging and established artists and their work to diverse audiences.
Currently showing are digital artworks from Milpa Tjuntjuntjara and Michael Jalaru Torres.

Explore the evolution of motherhood in our Reflections Gallery. Although it might not be immediately obvious, technological advancements have profoundly influenced motherhood. Since the 1890s, innovations in medical technology, industrial engineering, and germ theory have resulted in safer feeding bottles, clothing, toys, bedding, cots, and medicines. Additionally, recent community and government initiatives focusing on women's health have improved both women's well-being and the community's understanding of a mother's experience.

🦂 Are these the world’s FIRST footprints? 🦂

These fossilised tracks are from scorpion-like eurypterids that lived in Western Australia around 420 million years ago! Eurypterids were some of the first animals to walk on land, marking a key moment in the evolution of life on earth.

These tracks, found in Kalbarri, are some of the many footprints and ‘dino-tracks’ available to view in the Origins and Wildlife galleries at Boola Bardip.

And, to answer the question: not quite! While they are very old, there are some footprints that have been found in the Yangtze Gorges of China that are over 540 million years old!
