In Australian social history, the industrial museum occupies an important but largely forgotten place. Today, Sydney's exciting Powerhouse Museum is increasingly conscious of its legacy and lineage, dating from its creation as the Technological and Sanitary Museum of 1880. Nevertheless, much of the material culture of manufacture and innovation that lies in its collections remains uninterpreted and inaccessible to historians and the public. This project seeks to 'recover' the past of the Museum, and its role in Sydney's heritage of research, design and the applied arts; and to demonstrate the dynamic relevance of historical research to the Museum's present and forward plannning.

在澳大利亚社会历史上，工业博物馆占据着重要但基本上被遗忘的位置。如今，悉尼令人兴奋的动力博物馆越来越意识到它的遗产和血统，可以追溯到1880年作为技术和卫生博物馆的创建。 然而，博物馆藏品中的许多制造和创新的物质文化仍然没有被解释，历史学家和公众也无法接触到。 该项目旨在“恢复”博物馆的过去，以及它在悉尼的研究，设计和应用艺术遗产中的作用;并展示历史研究与博物馆现在和未来规划的动态相关性。
