Sydney’s A$915m Powerhouse Parramatta museum announces opening date and plans for ambitious space-themed exhibition
Plans for the institution’s five inaugural shows have been revealed
Sydney's Powerhouse Parramatta museum, a $915 million project, is set to open its doors on November 7. This large-scale institution, spanning 30,000 sq. m., will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and serve as a cultural "crown jewel" for western Sydney. The museum, which has been in the works for a decade, will incorporate 30 residential apartments, allowing scientists, artists, and researchers to live and work on-site for up to three months.
In its inaugural exhibitions, visitors can explore humanity's explorations of outer space, the evolution of shopping centers, and the work of renowned American artist James Turrell. With no entry fee, visitors can expect a highly immersive and interactive experience. The museum has faced controversies during its construction, but its state government supporters claim it is the largest cultural investment since the Sydney Opera House in 1973.
