I have just stopped working there, but long before I
ever was employed there I thought that the American
Museum of the Moving Image used technology very well.
There's everything from animation stands to special
effects to changing exhibitions of art that uses the
latest technology to make visually delightful,
interactive experiences. As far as I know they have
the only Curator of Digital Media anywhere. The web
site is www.movingimage.us  . Enjoy.
