The Perth-born actor, who died in 2008 after an accidental overdose of prescription medicine, will be honoured in an exhibition celebrating his career at the Western Australian Museum.
According to AAP, Ledger's father Kim has been working closely with the Western Australian Government to plan the 2012 exhibit.
Culture and the Arts Minister John Day said that Ledger's family will be providing most of the content of the exhibition, including his posthumous Academy Award from 2009.
Day said: "As well as the stories from his youth and early career, the exhibition will document his aspirations as a director, his talented work creating music videos and his formidable abilities as a chess player and photographer."
