The American Museum of the Moving Image

 

 

Dedicated to film, television and video, the museum, open in 1988 and recently enlarged, gives an insight into production, and has a permanent exhibition on the development of the art form in addition to thousands of items of film memorabilia. Original sets and costumes worn by the stars are displayed, and temporary exhibitions held.

 

The American Museum of the Moving Image - Queens Hotel New York

The museum is adjacent to the Kaufman Astoria Studios.
Before Hollywood, Astoria was the beating heart of the American movie business, where Paramount and other major companies were located, with stars like Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino under contract. In the early 1930s, studios began to be set up in California where the climate was more reliable for outdoor filming, and land prices were cheaper.

Astoria is now enjoying a comeback. The new studios, fourth largest in the USA, have produced The Pink Panther and the Law and Order TV series.
