As part of meeting the three percent budget efficiencies, all of the Western Australian Museum's public sites will be closed on Wednesdays. This includes all the Western Australian Museum's Fremantle sites.
The first day the closures will take effect is Wednesday 5 August 2009
The closures will be the first in a series of measures the WesternAustralianMuseumwill consider in achieving its budget targets.
The FremantleHistoryMuseumclosure is not part of the 3% efficiency dividend and was a decision made by the Fremantle City Council in consultation with the WesternAustralianMuseumand the Fremantle Arts Centre.
