Hello, hello — oh hello! | WA Museum Boola Bardip opening celebration
WA Museum Boola Bardip is a place to share Western Australia’s many stories. Our people, our places and our role in the world.
To celebrate the opening of the Museum with interstate and international audiences unable to travel, WA Museum Boola Bardip has collaborated with Perth Festival to produce films that showcase creative works inspired by and filmed in the stunning new Museum.
More than 100 people from Western Australia’s creative industries were employed to work on these films that highlight Western Australia’s world-class artistic talent and the Museum's stunning heritage-listed buildings and contemporary spaces.
Directed by Renée Webster and David Vincent Smith, Australian rock band Eskimo Joe and singer-songwriter Stella Donnelly kick off this all-star performance with a rendition of From the Sea under the Museum's iconic blue whale.
