The Story of the Moving Image

ACMI’s centrepiece is the interactive free exhibition The Story of the Moving Image. The exhibition traverses time, countries and cultures in a mesmerising exploration of an art form that changed the world. Use our Lens to dive deeper, discover new favourites and inspire your curiosity beyond the museum experience.

Five distinct sections frame the major moments in moving image history, including the origins and future of cinema, production design and the creative process, Australian culture and stories, the rise of videogames, and how screens inform, influence and empower us.
