ABOUT US

 
 
 

Kent MOMI is a not-for-profit museum that explores the deep history of the moving image — from the days of candle-lit magic lantern performances and hand-painted slides, through Victorian visual experimentation, to the advent and heyday of the cinema.

The museum is situated in the heart of the picturesque Kent seaside town of Deal, two minutes' walk from Deal Railway Station and Deal Pier and Seafront. 

We believe in community and access. All of our exhibitions are changing "special" exhibitions — so there will always be something new to see. Follow us on social media and be a part of the project!
