This former power station, completed in 1902 to provide power for Sydney's tramway system, was redesigned to cater for the needs of a modern, hands-on museum. Revamped, the Powerhouse opened in 1988. Few exhibits survived the 1882 fire, and today's huge and ever-expanding holdings were gathered after the disaster. The building's monumental scale provides an ideal context for the epic sweep of ideas encompassed within: everything from th0u32 ?realm of space and technology to the decorative and domestic arts. With a fascinating collection of steam engines, computers, and flying machines, the museum takes you on a journey through the industrial age with a hands-on approach. The museum also emphasizes Australian innovations and achievements, celebrating both the extraordinary and the everyday. The ceiling of the top-floor garden restaurant was painted by Australian artist Ken Done.
