Ultimo, Powerhouse Museum
The Powerhouse Museum is located along Harris Street, in the inner city suburb of Ultimo. The museum is mostly in the former Ultimo power station built in 1899 to power Sydney's electric tram system which closed in 1961 but this extension was added when the museum opened in 1988. It is part of the Museum of Applied Arts & Sciences and houses a collection of exhibits covering history, science, technology, design, industry, decorative arts, music, transport and space exploration.
I like its design.
ReplyDeleteGreat museum of industry and design, not subjects we often see in large collections.
ReplyDeleteI like the round shapes, wonderful architecture.
ReplyDeleteMarleen, this area had quite a few similar buildings from this era but unfortunately they were redeveloped recently.
DeleteInteresting museum
ReplyDeleteI like the design but I love the idea of reusing older buildings in new ways.
