FLOOD-PRONE POWERHOUSE Is it simply masquerading
AS A MUSEUM?
P
ARRAMATTA'S new Powerhouse Museum has come under an extraordinary attack from an Upper House Inquiry into the project. In terms like “controversial” and an “entertainment centre masquerading as a museum” the Inquiry went off both barrels at the biggest public development in Sydney since the Opera House. Not that the Opera House wasn’t controversial during its construction period with acres of negative newspaper coverage and near-sighted attacks by people with no vision a regular feature of city life in the 1960s. Flash forward more than half a century and it seems the Powerhouse Museum is the new “Opera House”. And it seems the same negative people are to try and tear it down, but in a positive way, if that makes sense? More page 6.
