Credit A, V. Opened in 1988 in a purpose-built space squeezed beneath Waterloo Bridge, MOMI has become one of London's most popular museums. Its success relies not only on the innate appeal of its subject but also the museum's encouragement of participation. The first part describes the birth of cinema with static displays of early attempts at animation, optical toys and the first cine cameras. The actor guides tend to have their work cut out entertaining the hordes of children. You could happily spend many entertaining hours here, but unfortunately there's no re-admission.
Audio cassettes for the visually impaired.
Films shown in evenings. Regular exhibitions and events.
