SATURDAY: Sketch the Motion

 

SATURDAY:  March 9, 2024

Museum of the Moving Image
In a city filled with museums there is nothing like this one.  
It is one of a kind! 


The Museum of the Moving Image is the country's only museum dedicated to the art, history, technique, and technology of the moving image in all its forms.


If you're a movie buff or a gamer, if you love TV, there is certainly going to be something for you that will inspire a brilliant sketch. The museum includes one of the most significant collections of video games and gaming hardware in the world.
