Powerhouse Ultimo in Sydney, Australia, explores applied arts and sciences through collections spanning technology, engineering, design, transport, decorative arts and social history. Its collection includes significant objects such as Locomotive No. 1, the Catalina flying boat *Frigate Bird II* and historic steam engines, illustrating how innovation has shaped everyday life and industry. Opened as a museum in 1988, the institution occupies the site of a former power station built to supply electricity to Sydney’s tram network. Its industrial heritage is reflected in the brick engine halls, boiler house and turbine hall. A major revitalisation is underway to restore heritage features and expand exhibition spaces.
