Raise the Roof - Behind the Scenes
Join us for a special open day at the Railway Museum as we begin our “Raise the Roof” campaign — a vital project to help protect and preserve our irreplaceable collection of Western Australia’s rail heritage.
Explore the museum at your own pace, with full general admission available, or upgrade your visit with our Devonshire Teas option and take a moment to slow down and enjoy the atmosphere. Children's activities will also be available including Lego and games.
For this one-day event, visitors will also have the rare opportunity to step behind the scenes. Small guided groups will be taken beyond the public areas into our restoration and storage spaces — places not normally accessible — offering a unique look at the work involved in conserving our collection.
These behind-the-scenes tours will run throughout the day and are offered by donation, with all proceeds going directly toward the Raise the Roof campaign.
Your visit helps support two critical goals - installing new roof structures to protect our exhibits from the elements; and creating a dedicated workshop space for restoration and conservation work
Every ticket, every donation, and every visit contributes to safeguarding this collection for future generations.
You can purchase tickets for museum entry only or for museum entry and Devonshire tea - your session time is only for the Devonshire teas, but you are absolutely welcome to join us at the museum at anytime before or after this session time.
Come along, explore, and be part of preserving our railway heritage.
