Mid West Gallery
Learn about the lives of the local Yamaji people, including the bush food and medicine plants they have used for thousands of years. See the influence of European settlement and the development of key industries such as mining, farming and fishing. Discover the unique native fauna and flora and the amazing biodiversity that exists in the region.
Shipwreck Gallery
Four shipwrecks reveal their treasures and artefacts from the deep. Objects from everyday life, navigation instruments, shimmering silver coins, bronze cannons and implements used for drinking, eating and living everyday life at sea. From murder and mutiny on the Batavia in 1629 to the inspiring ingenuity of the Zeewijk survivors, uncover the stories of tragedy and triumph in the Abrolhos Islands.
