Research Symposium

Join us a for a day of illuminating talks by our 2025 Research Scholars about objects in the diverse Powerhouse Collection that inspired their investigations and creative projects. A light switch, a radio, an electric car, a wedding dress, a computer game, a spider robot, a craniometer, a recipe book for inks and a story of lost cattle have inspired examinations of history, identity and technological change that reveal the many narratives held within everyday things.
