The Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences (MAAS) is an executive agency of the New South Wales State Government. Embodying the best of design ingenuity and innovation, the Museum profiles one of the world’s great collections and is a highly successful interdisciplinary institution that sits at the intersection of the arts, design, science and technology and plays a critical role in supporting the brand and vision of the city.
Access to the Museum’s exceptional collection is a cornerstone of the vision, opening up opportunities for engagement, participation and research. Deepening audience engagement, bringing the collections to life through hands on experiences and offering a variety of pathways through ideas and information is key to the delivery of our programs for people of all ages across our three sites: the Powerhouse Museum in Ultimo, Sydney Observatory in The Rocks and the Museums Discovery Centre in Castle Hill.
The Museums Discovery Centre (MDC) is a collaboration between the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences (MAAS), Australian Museum (AM) and Sydney Living Museums.

The unit develops and delivers programming across workshops, tours, events, talks and master classes, as well as hand-on making and digital programs. While a key focus is primary and secondary education audiences, the team also provides innovative and creative learning opportunities for school holidays, after school, tertiary and adult learning audiences.
The Educator (Casual) delivers workshops, tours and other programs, products and services for students, teachers and a range of audiences meeting their cultural, social, vocational and academic curriculum goals whilst strengthening the Museum’s reputation as a provider of innovative, high quality learning experiences.
