Powerhouse Museum Ultimo has had its heritage listing broadened, guaranteeing that the much-loved site will remain a museum of applied arts and sciences into the future. The 145-year-old institution and its collection has evolved from its inception in 1879 in the Garden Palace inside the Botanic Gardens, to the Agricultural Hall in the Domain, the Technological Museum in Harris Street and the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences housed in the former Ultimo Power House.
