Late Night at the Museum

Overview

As part of Sydney Design, the Powerhouse Museum is keeping its doors open late for one night only in August. In line with this year's festival theme of 'design futures', there’s a range of technologically enticing activities guaranteed to shake up your usual Thursday night routine.

You can check out the Interface: People, Machines, Design exhibition, interact with light installation Orkhestra and experience museum objects in augmented reality using your Android phone. There’s live performance art by and 3D printing demos. If you feel like it, you can even get your head 3D scanned and printed (that’s this year’s Christmas card sorted!).

Should you need a break from all the fancy futuristic tech stuff on offer, Eat Art Truck and a cash bar will be providing on-site sustenance. Plus, you can munch on Black Star Pastry’s special festival-themed cake while listening to Future Classic DJs churn out some tunes.
