My trip to the Museum of the Moving Image was very interesting and entertaining in my opinion. The whole film making process is a personal interest of mine and to have been able to learn about it all and look at some memorabilia and classic collections was cool. It was just very educational overall and entertaining at the same time with their little interactive exhibits. What i really found to leave me somewhat mesmerized was the Feral Fount. I felt like a little confused child as i looked at it, but i couldn't stop. I loved it and it was cool to have been challenged in that way to try and figure out how it worked before actually reading into it. It wasn't such a huge museum with a ton on display, but i guess for the people with a personal interest in it, it's a nice trip. I did have to end up going twice myself and i had the same reaction to it both times.
