Army Museum of Western Australia
Army Museum of WA
A military museum in an early 20th-century artillery barracks, telling the story of Western Australian soldiers from the Boer War to the present day.
The Army Museum of WA is located at Artillery Barracks in the north of the city. The barracks were built in the 1910s and were once the base of fortress artillery. The galleries follow a timeline of Western Australian soldiers' involvement in the Boer War, both World Wars, the Vietnam War and peacekeeping operations. Exhibits include uniforms, medals, weapons and soldiers' letters. Tanks, armored vehicles and artillery pieces are displayed outdoors. You must show photo ID to enter the barracks. The museum is medium-sized and can be seen in about 1.5 hours. It can be combined with a visit to the Fremantle Arts Centre.
