If all our collection was online, you could access it anywhere in the world. It would open up the Powerhouse Museum to everyone, 24 hours a day. As you can imagine, with over 380,000 collection objects, getting everything online is a time-consuming and intensive task. Your donation can help put more objects online for research, education and enjoyment.
By donating today you will help acquire and conserve objects that have changed Australia as well as the stories of the people who created them. Your donation will help to:
Build the Collection Endowment Fund which delivers us $70,000 a year to acquire new objects. The bigger the fund, the greater the Collection will become.
Acquire specific objects spanning history, science, technology, design, transport, decorative arts and more.
You can also donate a significant object. Thousands of Collection objects have been donated by generous individuals, like yourself.
Douglas Annand (1903-1976) was a leading Sydney-based comercial artist / graphic designer who also designed small and large scale glass, metal, ceramic and textile objects.
This scarf represents a mid-career example of his work. The painterly approach to the coloured border elements of the scarf combined with fine linear ink drawings are characteristic of his approach to graphic design during this period, reflecting the influence of international artists like Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee.
