Community conversations with the Powerhouse - Design

Each month, the Collection Conversations series invites you to explore history through the eyes of Powerhouse Museum volunteers.

Inspired by the Powerhouse Collection, these engaging talks spark curiosity and conversation, blending storytelling with unique insights from volunteers and curatorial research.

This September, join us for Collection Conversation: Design — a talk about how everyday objects can tell powerful and surprising stories.

From the Sydney Opera House to Hargrave’s box kite and the iconic Eames chair, discover how design has transformed the way we live, travel and imagine the future.

Morning tea is provided and bookings are recommended. 

We aim to deliver inclusive and accessible events. If you have any particular access or communication needs, please contact the centre on 02 9298 3111 or ultimocc@cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au.

You can also subscribe to our newsletter to receive updates about our programs and services.
