Nyumbi at the WA Museum Boola Bardip in Perth offers visitors a vibrant and immersive cultural experience that celebrates the living traditions of First Nations peoples through weekly ceremonial dance and storytelling. Held every Saturday, Nyumbi invites visitors to witness a dynamic Welcome to Country led by Whadjuk Nyoongar community members, featuring traditional music, dance, and language.
 
This free outdoor event is a rare opportunity to engage with Indigenous culture in an authentic and respectful setting, making it a must-see for those seeking meaningful connection during their travels. Located in the heart of Perth’s cultural precinct, the WA Museum Boola Bardip is surrounded by attractions such as the Art Gallery of WA, Perth Cultural Centre, and Yagan Square. The museum is wheelchair accessible and committed to sustainability, with thoughtful design elements that reflect the stories of Country and community.
 
“Boola Bardip” means “many stories” in Whadjuk Nyoongar, and Nyumbi is one of the museum’s most powerful expressions of this ethos. Before the ceremony begins, visitors may choose to arrive early and explore the museum’s permanent exhibitions to learn more about the stories and perspectives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Whether you’re planning a weekend itinerary or seeking a deeper understanding of local heritage, Nyumbi offers a unique experience. Discover the spirit of Perth through dance, story, and shared celebration
