	Powerhouse Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Powerhouse is also the name of an unrelated museum located on the north bank of the Brisbane River in the inner city suburb of New Farm, in Brisbane, Australia.
		The Powerhouse Museum's origins date to 1879, when the Sydney International Exhibition was held in the Garden Palace, a purpose-built exhibition building located in the grounds of the Royal Botanic Gardens.
		Unfortunately, in September 1882 before the new museum could be opened a fire completely destroyed the Garden Palace, leaving the museum's first curator, Joseph Henry Maiden with a collection consisting of one artefact - a carved graphite Ceylonese elephant statue that had miraculously survived the blaze unscathed despite a 5-storey plunge.

		Subsequently, the president of the trust invited the director to continue to assist the museum in 2000 in the planning of the Greek exhibition.

	Abstract 1. Catherine Sidwell, University of Technology, Sydney
		In 2000 the Powerhouse Museum was re-branded, “phm: science and design”.
		The Museum's commitment to collecting and exhibiting design is highlighted in its current mission and vision statements in its strategic plan, in recognition of its increasing emphasis on design in both temporary and permanent exhibitions.
		For the last eight years, as part of the annual schedule of exhibitions and programs, the Powerhouse Museum has displayed a temporary design exhibition (either developed in-house or externally) in addition to displaying a selection of items from the Sydney Morning Herald's Young Designer of the Year competition.

		Located, as the name suggests, in a former power station, this is arguably the best museum in Sydney, a young and exciting place with fresh ideas.
		The museum was opened here in 1988 but was originally founded in 1880: its main function has always been to collect, care for and interpret "material culture".
		This notion is open to a wide interpretation and, unusually, the museum combines arts and sciences, design, sociology and technology under the same roof - with the much-anticipated "Fashion of the Year" display featuring Australian fashion every November.

		The Museum was given permission by the Greek Hellenic Ministry of Culture extensive access to the archaeological site of Olympia, and to the pedimental sculptures and metopes from the Temple of Zeus, currently housed in the Museum at Olympia.
