Over the weekend, the NSW Government announced the Powerhouse Museum will relocate to new premises in Parramatta and accommodate Australia’s largest and most advanced planetarium. The new museum will form the centrepiece of a new arts and cultural precinct on the banks of the Parramatta River, including a modernised Riverside Theatres complex.

The Government plans to retain cultural spaces at Ultimo, including plans for MAAS to lead a new design and fashion museum and a Broadway-style lyric theatre.

The announcement is the start of a more detailed planning process for the MAAS Project, as we work towards realising new cultural experiences at Parramatta and Ultimo.

For project details, please refer to the new museum project website at new.maas.museum or contact development@maas.museum if you have any questions.
