Northam Secondhand brings together extensive knowledge of objects, period material, display and visual storytelling with access to a large and constantly changing collection of antiques, furniture and collectables.

We can assist museums, galleries, heritage organisations, retailers, photographers, event producers and other creative teams with exhibition and display projects throughout Western Australia.

Exhibition Design Experience

Northam Secondhand owner Paul Morgan brings a professional background in museum planning, exhibition design, graphics, lighting, wayfinding, procurement and installation. His previous work includes serving as Design Lead and Exhibition Designer on exhibition projects at Wadjemup / Rottnest Island, as well as major Western Australian cultural projects including the National Anzac Centre and work undertaken during his time with the Western Australian Museum.
