I remember, and miss, the London version of a film history museum. This equalled it and had more modern interactive stuff. Though it was swarming with school trips when I was there. silence suddenly descended when they were gone!

The moving image has progressed mightily since the the days of the "flicks". There are now many varieties of moving images, from the movies to video games. ACMI was previously called the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. It's a great place to visit, you will find many things to fascinate you.

ACMI was super cool! There were lots of interesting displays with lots of history about movies, the equipment they use and how things have changed over time. The 'collectable chip' that you carry and swipe at the displays was a lot of fun! Would recommend a couple of hours spent here, exploring the different areas of film making. Having more seating around the displays would help those less mobile.

Fun place to visit, especially with kids. The video game section was fantastic- a great mix of interactive displays, information and games for the kids to play! Ran out of time so missed the paid exhibition but the free bit was fab. Open 10-5pm, staffed by a lot of knowledgeable volunteers.

Fantastic museum and staff. The Goddess exhibition is incredible and could visit it again. We also loved the history of moving pictured. It had such details, again, could see it again. Totally recommend it.

As a couple in our ‘50’s, we visit Melbourne regularly but hadn’t heard of this before. It was free and very interesting. The cloak room was helpful. Most people had their little kids under control so that was good. The only negative was the other womens exhibition which was $25 per adult for what would be an hours entertainment. So we didn’t do that. I would suggest that I’d the orice was more like $15 each, we would have gone in.

ACMI is known as the Australian Center for the Moving Image. In the age of the screen, it promotes a wide range of screen images that appeal to young and old. It also has several screening rooms that show classic films. ACMI is in Flinders Street, adjacent to Fed Square.
