Visit the Powerhouse’s vast and diverse collection of over 500,000 items.
This internationally recognised museum showcases a broad spectrum of objects covering history, science, technology, design, industry, decorative arts, music, transport, and space exploration.

The items on display at Powerhouse Castle Hill are drawn from the vast collections of Powerhouse Museum, Australian Museum and Museums of History New South Wales

Between them, these museums care for millions of objects and specimens, which give us insights into the arts, science and engineering, domestic life, Indigenous and Pacific cultures, and more.
