MOMI - Museum of Moving Image

I wanted to find a place where i could physically go to, to collect some primary research rather than just sitting at home staring at my mac! I found the Museum of Moving Image in London!!! I got extremely excited and started thinking about when and how i could get there until i read ... 'closed in August 1999' ... however istill wanted to find out more about what was there and what it was like even though i still won't be able to go!

I read about some of the things they had at MOMI and it made me want to go even more!!!!!
