Reviews for Powerhouse Parramatta
Sof C
This building has had a disturbing impact on local wildlife. Thousands of insects have died after getting stuck in the thick paint used on the external beams, and rainbow lorikeets and other native birds are colliding with the large glass windows, resulting in serious injury and death. For a major public institution AND science museum, this is unacceptable. Ethical and wildlife-safe design should have been a priority from the start. Sort it out.
Street View 360
Parramatta is set to welcome the Powerhouse Museum, a major win for the area. For a long time, most of Sydney’s top attractions have been concentrated in the CBD, but Parramatta has much to offer. With the Powerhouse relocating here, it’s yet another highlight for the community. The choice of location, right next to the river in a prime spot, is interesting—especially since there are other sites in Parramatta that could have worked just as well. The decision to demolish a heritage house to make way for the museum raised concerns, and I’m still waiting to see if they will fulfill their promise to rebuild the house, brick by brick, as they said. Once complete, the museum will be a fantastic destination for kids and school groups to explore science and history. Though the construction is still underway, the steel structure is impressive. If it’s anything like the Powerhouse in the city, it will definitely be worth the visit.
