I'm a huge movie buff and I'd been meaning to go to the Academy Museum since it opened. Unfortunately, the museum was disappointing. The layout was haphazard and some of the design choices were frustrating (like when they put the explanatory text on a flat surface so only the people standing right in front of it could actually read it). Too little focus on film history with only a few exhibits on specific films.

This museum introduces you to the world of filmmaking. There are hands on experiments as well as interesting facts about the various possibilities of representation in the film. This is rounded off by historical information about the development of the film and the development of Hollywood. The Hands on Experiments were fun for 4 to 10 year olds. The view from the very beautiful rooftop cup of the museum is a good conclusion to the visit!
