Heritage Day

Celebrate Heritage Day at the Art Gallery of Western Australia

Sunday 15 November 2009
FREE

It's time to celebrate the valuable inheritance our forefathers left us with Heritage Day and a opportunity to showcase our City's history going back many thousands of years before colonisation.

It is a unique opportunity for residents and visitors of all ages and cultures to explore the fascinating history that is - the City of Perth.

At the Gallery you can take a tour of the the historic Art Nouveau style Centenary Galleries. This amazing part of the gallery with its pressed tin elaborately embossed ceilings, wonderful examples of colonial furniture, Jarrah floors from the forests in the South-West and stained glass is the perfect setting for some of the State Art Collection.

Centenary Galleries - old Police Law Courts

Free Tours & Sausage Sizzle

Join us for a free tour of the historic Centenary Galleries; learn about the French Renaissance architecture and the colourful history of the old Police Law Courts, including our resident ghosts! Actors in period costume will also be contributing to make the day a memorable occasion.

The free tours commence at 10am, 11am and 1pm and you can enjoy a free sausage sizzle in the courtyard from 11am to 1pm.

This is an event for all of the family, and children from about 8 years of age will find the tour equally as engaging as the parents.

Heritage Day is a truly inclusive event.
