With more than half a million objects amassed since 1880, the Powerhouse Collection is one of the largest and most diverse museum collections in Australia.
Each month, our wonderful community of volunteers share their enthusiasm and expertise on a specific aspect of the museum’s collecting practices. All events in the Collection Conversations series will include a presentation incorporating objects from the Powerhouse Collection and a tour of one of our open display storage areas.
Upcoming Conversations
17 April — Remembrance
Focus on remembrance and learn about the legacy of the ANZACs — their sacrifice, resilience, and the remarkable innovations born from wartime necessity. From wartime medical equipment to personal letters from soldiers, objects from the Powerhouse Collection capture the human side of conflict and commemoration.
