New home search

Following state government housing pressures at the Sunset Heritage Precinct, we are actively seeking a sustainable permanent venue.

A vital chapter in Western Australia's cultural memory

From neighbourhood picture gardens to live broadcast television studios, moving pictures have shaped community life across Western Australia. Pictures in Motion Museum of Film and Television holds one of the country's most comprehensive collections of cinema and broadcast technology. Our mission is to ensure future generations can experience the ingenuity and wonder behind the screen.

Protecting our historic collection

After years at the Sunset Heritage Precinct in Dalkeith, our massive collection is at a critical juncture. We need community advocacy and long-term accommodation to preserve this irreplaceable cultural treasure.

"The depth of cinema equipment preserved by AMMPT is astonishing. It tells the authentic story of technical artistry in Western Australia."
