An image of a stargazer, leaning back in a chair, staring up at the sky. The image is shot in an extreme wide: the stargazer looks tiny compared to the bright, colorful and mostly pink sky, and the vast expanse of water that surrounds them. The stars are visible in a long stretch above the stargazer's head.

140 Years of Programs

A museum is more than the physical container that holds it. It is everything that gets us to this moment. Powerhouse Museum maintains a public archive of past programs dating back to its beginnings in the 1880s.
