Powerhouse has announced 1001 Remarkable Objects, a new exhibition opening 22 July 2023, led by Leo Schofield AM.

Leo Schofield AM has worked in collaboration with advisors Ronan Sulich, Mark Sutcliffe and Powerhouse curator Eva Czernis-Ryl to select 1001 objects from the 500,000 objects within the collection,  including objects that have never been exhibited before alongside much loved collection icons.

Exhibition designers Pip Runciman, Julie Lynch, and Ross Wallace have created an exhibition that features 25 individual rooms, presenting an unexpected juxtaposition of objects that will lead us on a journey across time and memory. Powerhouse collection objects will be presented across the applied arts and applied sciences including the decorative arts, jewellery, costume, textiles, furniture, clocks, musical instruments, industrial design and social history.
