Its free centrepiece, The Story of the Moving Image, follows film, television and videogames through five connected sections. Pick up a free Lens on arrival to collect favourite displays and save your own creations for later. Allow around two hours if you want to use the interactive stations as well as explore the objects and stories.\n\nTry assembling film scenes on the Edit Line, recording a soundtrack in the Foley Room or playing a changing selection of games in the Games Lab. These stations are shared with other visitors, so leave some room for a wait rather than treating each activity as an appointment. The exhibition also explores Australian screen stories and the contribution of First Peoples. Its content includes names, images and voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died.\n\nThis is a useful indoor stop with children, friends or anyone interested in how screens shape everyday life. Children under 13 need an accompanying adult. There is seating throughout, but some spaces have loud audio, flickering or strobing light and darker passages; choose a separately booked relaxed visit if reduced sensory stimulation would help. Entry to the main exhibition needs no ticket. Cinemas, workshops and selected temporary exhibitions have their own sessions, prices and bookings.\n\nFinish with a break at the Level 1 cafe or continue to NGV Australia in the same Federation Square complex. Keep your Lens to revisit your collection online. Leave food and drinks outside the galleries and follow the photography signs; cinema screenings cannot be photographed. The museum usually closes at 17:00, even when a later cinema session keeps part of the building open.", "shortDescription": "Make film sound effects, rearrange scenes and play videogames in ACMI’s free screen-culture exhibition at Federation Square.", "whyVisit": "Make film sound effects, rearrange scenes and play videogames in ACMI’s free screen-culture exhibition at Federation Square.", "storyHeading": "Play your way through screen culture.", "categorySlug": "culture_history", "schemaType": "Museum", "location": "Federation Square, Melbourne", "address": "ACMI, Federation Square, Flinders Street, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia", "city": "Melbourne", "region": "Victoria", "country": "Australia", "latitude": -37.8173892, "longitude": 144.9687219, "websiteUrl": "https://www.acmi.net.au/", "bookingUrl": "https://www.acmi.net.au/whats-on/", "bookingText": "Walk in for The Story of the Moving Image; no ticket needed.

Some temporary exhibitions, workshops and cinema screenings are paid and booked separately.\n\n02 How long should I allow?\n\nAllow around two hours for the main exhibition and interactive stations. A cinema screening or workshop needs additional time and its own booking.\n\n03 Is it suitable for children?\n\nThe main exhibition welcomes all ages, with games and hands-on stations. Children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult. Some displays contain loud sound and strobing effects.\n\n04 Which entrance has easier access?\n\nUse the ramp at the Flinders Street entrance and the accessible door beside the revolving door. Lifts connect all levels; the Fed Square plaza has uneven cobblestones.\n\n05 Can I visit after 17:00?\n\nGeneral museum hours are 10:00–17:00. Later cinema or event sessions have separate tickets and entry through the Fed Square entrance; they do not extend the free exhibition hours.\n\nContinue exploring\n\n### Make Australian Grand Prix\nyour own.\n\n[Visit the official site]()[← All things to do]()\n\nOpening hours, prices and access change.
