Powerhouse Parramatta museum hosts first overnight student stay

Students from Menindee Central School have become the first group to stay overnight at the new Powerhouse Parramatta museum. The group of 20 students traveled over 1,000 kilometers to utilize the institution's custom-built dormitory facilities.

The museum, a $915 million project, features two dorms with a total capacity of 60 beds, including accessible spaces and rooms for teachers. The overnight stay is part of a broader opening period for the museum, which officially opens to the public on Saturday. Approximately 25,000 people have registered to attend the opening weekend exhibitions.
