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 and experiences for people of all ages across our sites: The Powerhouse Museum in Ultimo, Sydney Observatory in The Rocks and the Museums Discovery Centre in Castle Hill.
The Registration unit manages the Museum’s collection and collection-based information according to professional museum standards, and NSW regulatory requirements, including documentation, processing, access, inward and outward loans, storage, movement and transport of objects, and creating and maintaining records for these.
The Conservation unit is responsible for the continual care and conservation management of the collection. The unit has major responsibility for ensuring the preservation, maintenance, conservation, storage and protection of the collection through preventive conservation; remedial conservation, collection storage, display and use, collection movement, research and outreach. Conservation develops policies outlining the high-level principles and guidelines that the Museum follows to achieve its aim of caring for and protecting its collections.
This role is based at the Museums Discovery Centre, 172 Showground Road, Castle Hill and works across the Registration and Conservation units implementing Museum policies, processes and procedures encompassing loans, collection administration, collection stores and logistics, documentation, exhibitions, archives management, and preventive conservation.
