Location
Old Court House Law Museum is in Stirling Gardens in central Perth, near Barrack Street and St Georges Terrace.
What You Will See
The visit centres on the historic courtroom and small displays about Western Australian law and civic history. It is a focused heritage stop rather than a large museum.
Allow a short visit, then continue through Stirling Gardens or another central Perth attraction if you want a fuller half day.
Access And Facilities
Collections WA lists the main courtroom as accessible. Four steps lead to the gallery displays, so those areas are not step-free.
There are no toilets inside the museum. The nearest listed public toilets are in Supreme Court Gardens.
