Located in the Ultimo Power Station in Darling Harbour, the Powerhouse Museum’s building is in itself worthwhile visiting as part of Sydney’s history. The collections on display span science, technology, design and decorative arts, engineering, architecture, health and medicine, fashion and contemporary culture. The permanent and temporary exhibitions are ideal for families or individuals looking to understand Australia’s unique culture – particularly focused on creativity and design.
