Museum of Contemporary Art Australia

140 George St, The Rocks NSW 2000

Art Deco former harbor authority tower turned contemporary art galleries overlooking a historic quay.

This guide to the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia in Sydney follows John Power, a Sydney doctor turned Cubist painter in Paris, who hid his art collection from Nazi soldiers on Jersey before his death in 1943. It traces the bequest he left the University of Sydney with one condition, and the Art Deco harbourside tower, built as headquarters for the Maritime Services Board, that sat waiting for decades before anyone worked out where his paintings would go.
