Museum To Reopen In January

After extensive renovations The Museum of the Moving Image in nearby Astoria will be reopening on January 15th, The Times reported yesterday. The museum was due to make the announcement today: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/07/07/expanded-museum-of-the-moving-image-in-astoria-to-open-in-january/

If you have never been, the museum as it was before was a great little treat. Smallish, quaint even, but a lot of fun. I really look forward to the expanded version when it opens early next year. And it will probably generate a lot of positive attention for our borough, something that is always nice.
