IMAX | Melbourne Museum

IMAX Melbourne at Melbourne Museum has the world's 2nd largest screen* and state of the art IMAX Laser Projection.

IMAX is the largest and most exciting film format in the world with crystal clear images, ten times larger than traditional cinema format, the IMAX experience draws you in with pictures so real you want to touch them, so powerful you can feel them.

The IMAX experience takes an image rich in clarity and definition, throws it onto the world's biggest screen and wraps the viewer in digital surround sound.

Sound is critical to the IMAX experience. The film soundtracks are delivered through a mighty 15,000 watt digital surround sound system manufactured by Sonics Associates Inc, one of the world leaders in sound system design.

With IMAX 3D we then add, quite literally, a new dimension to the whole electrifying experience.

Using state-of-the-art electronic headsets, complete with infra red sensors to detect the left and right eye images, the IMAX 3D experience has brought 3D enjoyment a long way way fom the cardboard glasses of the 1950s.

Bigger images. Better sound. Sharper 3D. The IMAX experience is the future of film entertainment.

IMAX Melbourne turned 20 in 2018.
