David Jones has inspired Australians for almost two centuries as an international innovator and industry leader. This exhibition heralds the donation of its archive, the most significant of its kind in Australia, to the Powerhouse Museum. It also marks the beginning of a three-year partnership between the two iconic institutions that will invest in the next generation of Australian designers. The David Jones Archive includes thousands of artefacts and documents, some dating back to as early as the 1830s, representing David Jones' remarkable history - a history that is embedded into the cultural and social identity of Australia.
