About
Quick facts: More than 2,000 objects, from vintage cameras to original film posters, are arranged on stacked platforms so exhibits feel like pages in a cinematic scrapbook. Visitors can wander up a spiral ramp and peer across a central atrium where projectors, costumes, and posters frame dramatic sightlines and photo opportunities.
Highlights: Sunlight pours down a towering central shaft at certain times of day, making brass projectors glint and paper posters warm to the eye, while the air carries the faint, dust-sweet smell of old film. A working 35mm projector is sometimes run during weekend screenings, its warm lamp glow and the steady clack of sprockets turning the whole hall into a living movie set.
Insider tips
- Buy a timed ticket online to skip the main queue and head straight to the top levels.
- Wear comfortable shoes, the route uses ramps and stairs across multiple floors.
- Shoot photos from the panoramic glass lift and the Mole's domed atrium for dramatic angles, avoid flash.
- Start at the upper galleries and work down to pass quieter rooms later in your visit.
