MUSEUM — RELOCATION 460. Hon BARBARA SCOTT to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Culture and the Arts: During the East Perth museum business case development process, what analysis of world trends in museum development was conducted — (a) on the factors that drive the success of museums, including the issue of location; and (b) into how non-central business district museums compare with CBD museums, particularly those in urban locations versus those in highly active, mixed-use CBD locations? Hon ADELE FARINA
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. The minister provides the following answer — (a) Western Australia’s museum for the twenty-first century will be a destination in its own right. The planning took into account the success of many international counterparts. This institution included most notably the following museums and their differing locations: the Canadian Museum of Civilization, Ottawa, Canada; the British Museum and the Tate Modern, London, United Kingdom; the Guggenheim Bilbao, Spain; the Auckland War Memorial Museum, New Zealand; and the Jewish Museum Berlin, Germany. (b) The international museums listed above are all examples of successful museums located outside of the main CBD. Notable examples already in operation in Perth in a non-CBD location include the Aquarium of Western Australia, Scitech and Perth Zoo. All attract significant numbers of visitors, especially family groups and schools.
