Museum of the Moving Image

The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens, occupies part of the former Astoria Studios and grew from efforts to preserve that historic complex while renewing interest in New York’s screen industry. Opening in 1988 as the first museum in the United States devoted solely to film, television, and video, it developed into a center for exhibitions, screenings, education, and a major collection of moving-image artifacts, including notable video game holdings. Its expansion, completed in 2011, enlarged its theaters and educational spaces. Through permanent exhibitions, festivals, publications, and community programming, it has become both a museum and an active cultural venue.
