Located on Gadigal land, a national place of connection and scientific research. Powerhouse continues to welcome guests to Sydney Observatory. Please note, heritage conservation works are currently underway and access to some areas may be impacted. The Sydney Observatory program explores human connections to Sky Country, astronomy, tradition and artistic practice to reveal enduring and new ways of seeing.
Powerhouse Museum acknowledges the Gadigal as the Traditional Custodians and the first astronomers of the land Sydney Observatory is situated on. We pay respects to, and seek guidance from, their continuous connection to, and deep knowledge of, the Sky Country above us.
A symbol of time and history since 1858, Sydney Observatory has evolved over the years — from steering ships to mapping stars, housing some of Australia's first weather maps to its role now as a public educational space and museum.
Sydney Observatory is located on Gadigal land at:
1003 Upper Fort Street, Millers Point, NSW 2000
