I came here because of games & moving images whatever it was paidwe went to the free one instead and I left with a full heart & mayhaps a little tear… it got so beautiful & philosophical while being so so simple, just good old storytelling doing the work.nI’m talking about the hall from mass medias to social media video cut-to-cuts to the palm projection video of memories.nnOther than the storytelling philosophical aspect, the other stuff was amazing. The rotating cup animation, the art collecting system that also recommends similar media you can explore later.nIt’s such a fresh take on the usual, oftentimes boring & static display of museums. Yet it’s not some empty interactive space, flashy buttons for the kiddies. It’s just so good you shouldn’t miss it!nn[also as a graphic designer, I can’t help but notice the wayfinding icons. They’re nice & consistent. It looks like a design studio/someone who knew design worked on it. Turns out it’s their in-house team!]
Australian Centre for the Moving Image ACMI is always our go-to place during school holidays. The free exhibition, “The Story of the Moving Image,” is absolutely worth visiting. It suits all ages and takes you right back to the basics of light, image, audio, and video in a fun and engaging way.nnIt’s very interactive with plenty of hands-on learning, and my kids happily spend a few hours there every time we’re in the city — especially enjoying the introduction to the gaming world.nnThere’s also a paid gaming experience section, which we haven’t tried yet.nnLocated at Federation Square, it’s easily accessible by trams and trains.nnOverall, a must-visit place for kids in Melbourne.
To be fair the free part of the museum deserves 6 stars. However, upon arrival, we approached the reception/information desk and the person there greeted us cheerfully. I was alone with my child. He asked us whether we would like to explore the Games exhibition since it was absolutely amazing. Yes, of course, we wanted to. Unfortunately, while the exhibition was rather ok, it was definitely not worth the high price. The worst part? 1/3 of the games presented in the paid exhibition were in fact also available for free in the upper floor G level. Why the reception did not clarify that some of the games the exact same games with the same names were in fact available to enjoy in the free part of the museum… This being said, the free part of the museum is by far the best museum we have visited so far in whole Australia and we have already visited 11 different cities. I would definitely visit this museum again, but would never bother paying for an exhibition there.
ACMI Australian Centre for the Moving Image is one of Melbourne’s most interesting and engaging cultural spaces, especially if you’re interested in film, television, games, and digital media. Located at Federation Square, it’s easy to access and fits well into a day of exploring the CBD.nnThe exhibitions are modern, interactive, and well curated. They cover a wide range of topics, from the history of film and television to contemporary digital storytelling and gaming. The displays are visually engaging and easy to follow, making the experience enjoyable even if you’re not deeply familiar with the subject matter.nnOne of the biggest strengths of ACMI is how hands-on it is. There are plenty of interactive sections where you can experiment, watch clips, and explore behind-the-scenes aspects of media production. This makes it especially fun for solo visitors, as you can move at your own pace without feeling rushed.nnThe main exhibition is free, which adds great value, while paid exhibitions are usually well worth it for the depth and quality they offer. The space is clean, well designed, and not overwhelming, even during busier times.nnOverall, ACMI is a must-visit if you enjoy creative, digital, or pop culture experiences. It’s educational without feeling heavy and fun without being superficial. Whether you spend 30 minutes or a few hours, it’s a rewarding stop and a great example of Melbourne’s cultural side.
This place is a must see while on holiday. They have free and paid exhibits. What I REALLY loved were these cardboard discs we were given for free at the entrance. You scan the cardboard discs to each informative piece of art within the exhibit and it saves it onto the code embedded into the disc. You can then take this disc home, login on their website and view everything you scanned for free. This reduced the need to photograph what you wanted to remember, and also encouraged our young kids to scan things and be more interactive with the exhibits.
