We went to see the Hollywood Costumes exhibition. Absolutely loved it! As a self-proclaimed movie buff, it was incredible to see all my favourite costumes and characters up close. There was a great variety and was definitely an exhibition for all ages (it featured movie characters from the golden age of films, right through to beloved children's films like Harry... More

Good to while away the afternoon with the costumes exhibition. The only negative was the outrageous cost of parking close by but I guess unavoidable in Melbourne

The costumes themselves are great, but the room is hot, black and very dark, the dummies are black, (Marylyn Monroe's famous white dress looked yellow!) and you can't see them that well. There are multiple platforms you need to walk round, but there is no logical flow. The (huge) crowd was moving both ways and you need to do a... More

We visited this exhibition and it was one of the best displays of film/theatrical costume I have seen. It was a very modern exhibit featuring computer imaging, recorded interviews with actors and thecostume designers. The costumes were displayed on mannequins of the correct body size.

Situated in Federation square, just a cross from Flinders Railway station, this excellent museum is well worth a visit.

We spent about 32 hours,... More

The history of the moving image, the effects of optical illusions on our visual sense, the strong Aboriginal perspective and the interactivity of many sections all combine to make it a rewarding place to experience. Except for special exhibitions it is free to enter.

If you're interested in cinema and the history of the moving image, this is a great little museum. Some of the exhibits are a little uninspired, but it's generally pretty interesting and there are one or two innovative pieces too (the zootrope blew my mind!). The main bit is free too so you don't have anything to lose!

The costumes were fabulous and the information provided a great insight into the movie industry and the stars who wore them.

I really enjoyed visiting this place, a must if you're into your films! The exhibits are really good. There's a vast amount of information on display & it's all up close. The interactive area is great & you can even use most of the moving exhibits. There's some good trickery with lighting and a matrix machine lol. Amazingly it's all... More
