About The Story of the Moving Image
From the first projections and optical illusions to the birth of film and beyond, moving images have the power to spark imagination, share stories and shape history.
Explore cinema’s past and future through ancient shadow puppets, Victorian-era magic lanterns, original cameras, iconic costumes, sets, and contemporary art.
You'll be able to animate shadows, craft toys, edit scenes, and create sound.
Collect your favourites with the free Lens that you can take home with you.
