Mediamuseum

The Mediamuseum is a cinema museum housed in a former courthouse building in Pescara, showcasing film posters, photographs, artwork, and multimedia materials related to cinema and theater. The facility operates as a public video library and photo archive, maintaining extensive collections that explore the history of moving images and live performance.

The museum opened in 1995 to mark a century since the Lumière brothers introduced cinema to the world. This timing linked the building's transformation to the evolution of moving images as a major cultural force over the past 100 years.

The museum honors Ennio Flaiano, a local writer and screenwriter whose work shaped Italian cinema, making the building a gathering place for those interested in film and performing arts. The space reflects how the community values these creative forms as part of local identity.

The museum is centrally located in Pescara and offers free admission to all visitors. Collections are accessible both in person and digitally, giving people flexible ways to explore the materials at their own pace.

The museum regularly organizes workshops, theater courses, and live performances that invite visitors to participate directly rather than remain passive observers. These interactive programs turn the experience into something hands-on and allow people to explore the craft themselves.
