The Perth Cultural Centre is an area of central Perth, Western Australia and the collective name for the buildings of the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Western Australian Museum, Perth Gaol, Alexander Library, State Records Office, and Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA).
William Street, Beaufort Street, Roe Street and Francis Street form the boundaries of the Cultural Centre. It is often, but mistakenly assumed to be in Northbridge; in fact, the entire area is within the boundaries of the Perth CBD.
A walkway connects the Cultural Centre to Perth railway station.

—Janice A. Radway (b. 1949)
“To make our idea of morality centre on forbidden acts is to defile the imagination and to introduce into our judgments of our fellow-men a secret element of gusto.”
