Each month, the Collection Conversations series invites you to explore history through the eyes of Powerhouse Museum volunteers.

Inspired by the Powerhouse Collection, these engaging talks spark curiosity and conversation, blending storytelling with unique insights from volunteers and curatorial research. Add your voice to the conversation!

In July, join us for Game-changers from the 20th Century to today.

From the early days of aviation to the rise of sustainable materials, this talk explores the ingenuity behind objects that changed the way we move, live and create. Volunteers will share insights into the people and processes that brought these innovations to life, offering a fresh perspective on familiar technologies.

Don’t miss this opportunity to explore how innovation—powered by vision, creativity, and risk—continues to shape our world.
