It was responsible to the Trustees of the Australian Museum, who felt that it was an institution 'much needed in the Colony' and 'with classes for instruction, would afford much valuable practical information to a large class of the community'. The Exhibition had been dedicated to the manufacturing industry, agriculture and fine arts and many of the exhibits were either donated or sold to the Museum because of the huge expense involved in returning them to their owners overseas. After the fire destroyed the Garden Palace in 1882, the surviving items in the collection were relocated to a portion of the Agricultural Hall in the Outer Domain, and the Museum re-opened there on 15 December 1883. Accommodation problems were evident early, and the Committee of Management urged unsuccessfully for a more suitable permanent site, leading to it resigning in December 1889. In January 1890 responsibility for the Technological Museum, as it was then known, was transferred to the Technical Education Branch of the Public Instruction Department.
