Powerhouse Discovery Centre

Opened in March 2007 The Powerhouse Discovery Centre at Castle Hill is the Powerhouse Museum’s off-site storage and collection care facility offering visitors a new behind-the-scenes experience and increased public access to the depth and diversity of the Powerhouse Museum’s Collection. The Discovery Centre aims to capture the rawness and uniqueness of the visitor’s engagement with objects from the Museum’s collection offering a complementary experience to the traditional museum visit. The Display Store, the centrepiece of the Discovery Centre visitor experience, is a museum housing thousands of objects spanning the areas of transport, design and technology, science and Australian history. The Discovery Centre hosts a range of weekday group tours, school and education group visits, public Open Days, and school holiday programs.
