What to expect

The most popular museum in Sydney, Powerhouse Museum will inspire, inform and amaze. Featuring fashion, decorative arts, design, science, popular culture, technology, Australian social history and Indigenous creativity, there's something for everyone. Vibrant modern and fully interactive, the vast collection acquired over almost 125 years includes an extraordinary array of treasures, oddities and innovations from Australia and around the world. Quirky and colourful temporary exhibitions complement an electric range of permanent displays.

Things to look out for

Head to the "Tinkering Zone" where you can play scientist, designer, inventor or engineer. Ever wondered where lightning comes from or how a battery works? This is the place for you, don't stop there, experiment with this information yourself. A great place to learn, play and build with the kids.

It is recommended to plan to allow 2-3 hours to visit the museum. The museum has a great gift shop so it is a great spot to pick up unique presents for friends and family. Families will also love the new exhibit, Experimentations! – this is where YOU get to be the scientist, thinker, artist and inventor.
