Everybody watches movies but not many know the techniques behind making one. Explore the history of movies, from the invention of video cameras to the introduction of CGI at AMNI. Interesting for all age groups, the museum offers interactive exhibits such as green screens and mock movie sets. The museum hosts nearly daily events, presenting clips from some of America’s earliest films.
Learn about the evolution of the Loew’s movie theater chain in the temporary installation “From Penny Arcade to Megaplex: A Special Exhibition in Honor of the 100th Anniversary of Loews,.” The museum also offers free educational programs, such as the Motion Family Workshop, on the digital world, screen-writing, special effects, and even filming itself.
