NSW Arts Minister Don Harwin, in a joint media call with MAAS (Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences) CEO Lisa Havilah, announced this morning a new investment of $480-500 million to transform Powerhouse Ultimo into a dedicated museum to design and fashion.
Powerhouse Parramatta will focus on the intersections and histories of science, technology and creative industries. The investment – along with $1.1 billion already committed to Powerhouse Parramatta – makes it the largest cultural investment NSW has made since the building of Sydney Opera House.
