The Museum of the Moving Image is one of the city’s most dynamic institutions. This museum explores all aspects of the moving image from production and promotion to exhibition. Rubbing elbows with Kaufman Astoria Studios, it includes a three-story extension that features a state-of-the-art 267-seat cinema and expanded gallery spaces. Meanwhile, the museum’s “Behind the Screen” exhibit examines every step of the filmmaking process, with artifacts from more than 1,000 different productions, and 14 classic and playable video games, including Asteroids, Ms. Pac-Man and Space Invaders. They have regular film screenings, where timed tickets are required.
