Powerhouse Castle Hill

Powerhouse Castle Hill is the new home for the storage, conservation, and display of the Powerhouse Collection, which includes more than 500,000 objects. Constructed to international museum standards, the facility features a visible store, allowing public viewing into the 3,000 sqm Large Object storage area that houses the museum’s transport collection. One of the southern hemisphere's largest photographic cycloramas has been created that can carry objects up to 4 tonnes and enable the ongoing digitisation of the collection. The new building provides public access for education programs, workshops, talks, exhibitions, and other public events, as well as working spaces for academic researchers, scientists, and industry partners. The new Powerhouse Castle Hill building sits alongside the Museums Discovery Centre, and both are open and free to the public every weekend.
