Powerhouse is Australia's contemporary home to a breadth of exhibits across history, technology, design, music, space, transport and more.

On this trip, you will meet a museum curator who will guide you through the Transport Collection, sharing insights and stories behind some of history's biggest developments in transportation. Afterwards, travel through time and explore the other wonders and gems the museum holds!

The trip will begin with lunch at Courtyard Restaurant & Bar at 11am (plus a free drink for USU Rewards Members). From there, we'll travel together to the Powerhouse Museum for the tour.
