Powerhouse Foundation
Origin and Belonging

Over 125 years, the Powerhouse Museum’s collection has developed into a unique and extraordinary record of human achievement. So that we can continue to inspire future generations and maintain our place in the nation’s cultural life, the Powerhouse Museum must ensure that the collection continues to grow. We invite you to help.

By acquiring objects, both magnificent and mundane, we enable our children, and our children’s children to know and interpret the past. The Powerhouse Museum’s diverse collection, incorporating decorative arts, design, Australian history, science and technology, inspires an awareness and understanding of our history, and our future.

Making a Contribution

The Powerhouse Foundation was established in September 2004 for the purpose of enhancing the Museum’s ability to make strategic acquisitions that will enrich the legacy we pass on to future generations. The Foundation seeks to raise a $5 million endowment over the next four years.

The Foundation offers various levels of membership entry, each providing donors a way to show their commitment to, and support of, the Museum’s collection.
