Post by Thunder Force »

The Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) was established on 1 January 2002 by the Film Act 2001 (Victoria) , which provided for a new cultural institution in Victoria dedicated to the moving image in all its forms.
From Gamasutra industry news...

Hmm, has Mario ever had some type of exhibit along these lines all to himself? It'd be interesting if Sonic beat him to it...

Anyway, Australia is getting way to into all this stuff but I may check it out some day.
