The Mental Health Museum was a small museum located at Shaw House in the grounds of Graylands Hospital. The museum was established in 1991 by volunteer retired nurses. It had some records, photographs and memorabilia related to people who lived and worked in mental health settings in Western Australia. In 2022, the Find & Connect web resource was advised that the museum had closed some years earlier, and its collection had been dispersed.
