Today, we proudly announced the donation of the David Jones archive to the Powerhouse – preserving and amplifying our 186-year-old history and marking the beginning of a partnership with the 143-year-old museum.    The archive, which features a vast collection of preserved artefacts and documents dating back to the early 1800s, reveals several pieces that showcase the remarkable history and enduring impact we have had on Australian identity, thought and opinion. The partnership will also see us invest into the next generation of Australian designers by establishing the David Jones and Powerhouse Australian Design Commission.    “David Jones shares a foundation of innovation and progress with the Powerhouse and a commitment to preserving and celebrating the stories that have helped shape our communities' cultural fabric," said our CEO, Scott Fyfe. To celebrate the partnership, Powerhouse curators unveiled a temporary exhibition ‘Like No Other – Celebrating an Australian Icon’ at our Elizabeth Street Flagship in Sydney featuring a small collection of items from the archives.    #likenoother
