A celebration of the scale of the decorative arts design collections held by the Powerhouse Museum, 1001 Remarkable Objects catalogues the eponymous exhibition.

The publication opens with a series of 32 still-life images by photographer Lauren Bamford, in collaboration with art director and stylist Sarah Pritchard.

It is punctuated by 15 narratives from the four curators, plus 11 Australian authors commissioned by Powerhouse to respond to one or more remarkable objects.
