Well presented, with media interaction. Good to see detail up close and read how and why the costumes were chosen.

I am surprised how much I enjoyed this wonderful collection of costumes from some of the greatest movies and worn by the biggest stars! I think it is a must see for anyone that enjoys film.

Bring your young children here for a free interactive experience. There are a number of fun things to do and you could easily spend an hour or more looking around. Or, visit one of the temporary exhibits such as the Hollywood Costumes Exhibit. (at a cost ) Located at wonderful Federation Square. Drop in for a look.

We went to see the Hollywood Costumes exhibition. Absolutely loved it! As a self-proclaimed movie buff, it was incredible to see all my favourite costumes and characters up close. There was a great variety and was definitely an exhibition for all ages (it featured movie characters from the golden age of films, right through to beloved children's films like Harry... More

Good to while away the afternoon with the costumes exhibition. The only negative was the outrageous cost of parking close by but I guess unavoidable in Melbourne

The costumes themselves are great, but the room is hot, black and very dark, the dummies are black, (Marylyn Monroe's famous white dress looked yellow!) and you can't see them that well. There are multiple platforms you need to walk round, but there is no logical flow. The (huge) crowd was moving both ways and you need to do a... More

We visited this exhibition and it was one of the best displays of film/theatrical costume I have seen. It was a very modern exhibit featuring computer imaging, recorded interviews with actors and thecostume designers. The costumes were displayed on mannequins of the correct body size.

Situated in Federation square, just a cross from Flinders Railway station, this excellent museum is well worth a visit. As you would expect there is film making equipment from the early days of image, through to modern day and a hint of the future. Computer buffs were stoked to find a Commodore 64 there too! We spent about 32 hours,... More

The history of the moving image, the effects of optical illusions on our visual sense, the strong Aboriginal perspective and the interactivity of many sections all combine to make it a rewarding place to experience. Except for special exhibitions it is free to enter.
