Opening Days cut at WA Museum

The WA Museum will close on Wednesdays from this month, including sites in Geraldton, Albany and Kalgoorlie, as part of Western Australian Government attempts to rein in public service spending.

The move comes after the decision to close the Art Gallery on Tuesdays and the State Library on all public holidays.

The Fremantle History Museum and the Maritime Museum and Shipwreck Galleries in Fremantle also will close on Wednesdays and major public holidays.

Museum acting Chief Executive Diana Jones has explained that the closure will save an estimated $350,000 over the next year.
