Is actually a really cool museum. Free entry to the ground level exhibits. not sure if the other ones were paid. some very cool history about filmmaking. some interactive installations. id imagine its a good place for family with kids too.

Amazing museum!!! I visited the exhibition about the history of the moving image multiple times, definitely plan in more than just 60 min for that exhibition, it is amazing, super interesting and interactive. Also Tom was one of the most enthusiastic museum employees I have ever encountered, he definitely knows and loves what he talks about, a great guy!

Love the free exhibitions, it’s a great place to visit with friends and family. My highlight today was the Memoir of a Snail section! I really enjoyed watching this movie in cinemas and to see the work behind it and the actual pieces used in the film was so special to me ?

A fantastic, highly interactive exhibition! Take your time! Not somewhere I’d take anyone under 8 as they won’t appreciate it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ State-of-the-Art Museum – A Must-Visit for All Ages! ACMI is truly a world-class, state-of-the-art museum that offers a fascinating and immersive experience for visitors of all ages. Located in the heart of Melbourne’s Federation Square, it’s not just a museum – it’s a creative space that celebrates the evolution of film, TV, gaming, digital culture, and art in a way that’s both interactive and educational. From the moment we stepped in, we were blown away by the layout, the use of technology, and the sheer depth of the exhibits. The “Story of the Moving Image” exhibition was a highlight – thoughtfully curated and rich in content, tracing the journey from early cinema to contemporary digital storytelling. There were plenty of hands-on activities, from creating flipbooks to trying out classic video games and exploring virtual reality. What really sets ACMI apart is how engaging it is – not just for film buffs or gamers, but also for families, kids, and curious minds. Every space was modern, clean, and accessible, with staff who were knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. The gift shop is also worth a visit – filled with creative items, film-related books, and quirky souvenirs. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, ACMI is an inspiring, interactive, and thought-provoking place that deserves at least a couple of hours to explore properly. Highly recommended!
