The Powerhouse Museum is Sydney's largest public museum. Exhibitions, programs and research span the fields of science, technology, industry, design, decorative arts and social history.

The collection of some 400,000 objects is managed in three major collecting areas, each necessarily broad, and each overlapping with and informing the others. The three major collecting areas are science and technology; decorative arts and design; Australian history and society.
Each of the three major collecting areas covers a number of collection fields. In the case of some objects, for example, a specimen of penicillin mould, it clearly belongs in the category of health and medicine - a collection field within the collection area of science and technology. However, there are other objects, for example, coins, stamps, clocks, arms - which may have elements of science and technology, decorative arts and design, and Australian history and society. The Museum attributes such objects to one collection field, in order that there is efficiency and curatorial consistency over a category of objects.
