The Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) in Astoria, NY, is the United States’ premier institution dedicated to the art, history, technique, and technology of film, television, and digital media. Housed in the historic Astoria Studios, MoMI offers a rich and immersive experience through its state-of-the-art theaters, including the 262-seat Sumner M. Redstone Theater and the 68-seat Bartos Screening Room, both available for private screenings and events. Visitors can enjoy over 500 screenings annually—ranging from silent films with live music to cutting-edge festival selections—and engage with renowned filmmakers through in-depth public discussions. The Museum’s core exhibition Behind the Screen features over 1,400 artifacts and hands-on experiences that reveal the creative process of the moving image, while the Jim Henson Exhibition celebrates the legacy of the legendary puppeteer. MoMI is also a hub for education, serving tens of thousands of students each year and offering innovative programs in digital literacy. With its varied exhibitions, vintage game arcade, and dynamic programming, MoMI stands as both a cultural landmark and a vibrant community space, perfect for everything from date nights and team-building events to industry panels and private celebrations.
