The Museum of the Moving Image

Visiting the Museum of the Moving Image was an absolutely incredible experience. It was my first time visiting this museum but it will most definitely not be my last. This museum was very different from other museums I’ve been to before like MOMA. The Museum of the Moving Image, unlike other museums, was very interactive. I found that this trait is what made the museum so interesting and people friendly. The hands on experience I thought were very intriguing. The ability to create my own flipbook or stop-motion animation was a definite treat. Alongside the interactive quality of the Museum of the Moving Image, I also really enjoy seeing all of the props and costumes from famous films. While admittedly I have never seen the Star Wars movies, I was still able to appreciate the sight of little Yoda. But one of the props that I found the most interesting, simply because I enjoyed the movie so much, was the prosthetics from Black Swan. It was great to see all the types of things that go on behind the scenes of a film, especially in such a hands on manner.
