Intriguing museum if you appreciate film through the ages. On Fridays from 4pm-8pm admission is free and there is free bag check. We visited straight from the airport on the way into the city. There is currently a Jim Henson exhibit. They have some very cool artifacts from various film sets and they cover several film jobs that bring a script to life.
