Museum of the Great Southern

The Museum of the Great Southern is the regional museum of the Western Australian Museum located on Residency Road on the shore of Princess Royal Harbour in Albany, Western Australia. It overlooks the harbour within the Albany Heritage Park precinct and showcases the natural and cultural history of the Great Southern region, including Menang Noongar heritage, early European settlement, and local biodiversity through permanent and temporary exhibitions housed in historic buildings.

Visitors can expect a harbourside museum complex set in landscaped grounds with historic buildings including the 1850s Residency Building. Inside are galleries covering the natural environment, Menang Noongar culture, and European settlement of Albany and the Great Southern, with objects, photographs, multimedia displays and temporary exhibitions. The site includes outdoor areas, a replica Brig Amity nearby, gardens and harbour views, with self-guided exploration and occasional guided tours.
