Illuminate: Timescapes

Experience an extraordinary immersive experience with the Illuminate night projections at the WA Museum Boola Bardip.

This permanent, digital projection series highlights the brilliance of our State — our unique landscapes, people, and the history that has shaped our collective identity and place in the world.

At Illuminate, the Museum’s Old Gaol comes alive each night with a multisensory, kaleidoscope of light, inspired by the Museum’s collections and Western Australia’s natural beauty. The inaugural projection experience Timescapes is a visually rich, creative response to the objects and items of the Museum archives. It has been inspired by the six Nyoongar seasons and weaves a collection of narratives inspired by deep time and traditional Aboriginal knowledge and contemporary technology.

It’s a surrealist journey through time and place in Western Australia. Go and be inspired by the sights, sounds and stories of your State.
