Rome is opening a new audiovisual museum dedicated to the world of Italian cinema, at the capital's historic Cinecittà film studios. The Italian Audiovisual and Cinema Museum (MIAC), an immersive and interactive experience, will open at Cinecittà in December.

The museum is described by Italy's culture ministry as a "plunge into the Italian imagination, a journey through the history of the country through the images, sounds and music that have made our cinema great." On display will be a rich audiovisual archive documenting 120 years of Italian film and Italian life, thanks to a collaboration between Istituto Luce, the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, and Teche Rai.
