About
Powerhouse is the largest museum group in Australia. It sits at the intersection of the arts, design, science and technology and plays a critical role in engaging communities with contemporary ideas and issues. It is custodian to more than half a million objects of national and international significance and is considered one of the finest and most diverse collections in Australia.

The Powerhouse Strategic Framework supports the delivery of the museum’s renewal, ensuring that its infrastructure, collections and program fortify its commitment to the applied arts and sciences, expands its vital role in the development of industry and works always in the service of community.

VisitHistory
Powerhouse Museum has ‘always looked, Janus like, both backwards and forwards’. A museum is more than the physical container that holds it, it is everything that gets us to this moment – the past, the present and the future pressing up against each other; interleaving, and always in conversation.
