The $36 million expansion of the Museums Discovery Centre in Sydney’s Hills district has received planning approval.
The new state-of-the-art facility to be built on the Castle Hill site will increase the museum’s accessible storage space by 30 percent, allowing the Powerhouse Museum’s iconic collection of artefacts to be housed at one site, according to Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes.
“This means the entire 500,000-piece Powerhouse collection will be housed and cared for on one site when not on display at Parramatta or Ultimo,” Stokes says.
The collection includes vintage cars such as the classic Morris Minor, intricate textiles, NASA’s 2011 Curiosity Mars Rover and Apple Computer 1 to iconic objects from the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.
