About
Powerhouse Castle Hill forms part of the Museums Discovery Centre, operated in partnership with the Australian Museum and Museums of History New South Wales. It provides opportunities for communities to engage with state-significant collections and draw connections between the objects held by each Museum, through learning and public programs.
In 2024, Powerhouse Castle Hill will expand to hold and consolidate the museum's Collection on one site and will support the museum’s conservation, preparation and exhibition-making functions.
To this end it is intended to collect together typical collections of all materials of economic value belonging to the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms, from raw materials through the various stages of manufacture to the final product or finished article ready to use
