About us

ACMI is your museum of screen culture – discover the universe of screen-based art, film, TV and videogames.

Located in Melbourne’s Fed Square, online and on tour, ACMI welcomes millions of visitors each year through a vibrant mix of exhibitions, screenings, commissions and festivals. We’re a globally recognised hub connecting people, communities, technology and ideas to shape our futures.

As the only museum of its kind in Australia, ACMI is home to galleries, state-of-the-art cinemas, studios and labs. Our programs spotlight both Australian and international voices, supporting the next generation of screen creatives through industry partnerships, education initiatives and our creative incubator.

At the heart of ACMI is The Story of the Moving Image – a FREE, interactive exhibition tracing the past, present and future of screen culture. Use the Lens, our free take-home device, to collect your favourite moments and continue your journey online.
