$12, seniors and students $9, children 3–18 $6, members and children under 3 free; Fri 4–8pm free; film tickets with museum admission freeOnly 15 minutes from midtown, the Museum of the Moving Image is one of the city’s most dynamic institutions. Rubbing elbows with Kaufman Astoria Studios, it is currently undergoing a massive renovation that includes a three-story extension, scheduled to finish up in early 2011. The revamp will feature a state-of-the-art 264-seat cinema and expanded gallery spaces. Meanwhile, the museum’s “Behind the Screen” exhibit is currently open (with reduced hours and admission prices); the show examines every step of the filmmaking process, with artifacts from more than 1,000 different productions, and 14 classic (playable!) video games, including Asteroids, Ms. Pac-Man and Space Invaders.
