Located at the site of the former Astoria Studios (now operating as the Kaufman Astoria Studios) in the borough of Queens in New York City (USA), the Museum of the Moving Image (originally named the Astoria Motion Picture and Television Center Foundation, then the American Museum of the Moving Image before dropping the "American" ) was founded in 1977. Its mission statement is to educate "the public about the art, history, technique, and technology of film, television, and digital media and to examine their impact on culture and society."

In addition to three floors of revolving and permanent exhibits, the museum features various screenings and seminars in a full-sized theatre, educational programs, and a gift shop with film memorabilia. Four different films a day are generally screened on weekends, often in coordinated retrospectives featuring a specific director or actor (who often appear for related seminars and panels), free of charge to members (membership is $50 per year). The museum is one of the largest tourist attractions in the borough of Queens.
