The Kent Museum of the Moving Image opened in Deal, Kent in April 2018. [1] The museum was created by David Francis, with his wife Jocelyn Marsh [2] (daughter of award-winning production designer Terence Marsh). Francis was one of the lead members who created the Museum of the Moving Image in London. [3] The 'Kent MOMI' stands at the top of Stanhope Road in Deal, on the site of a disused care home and opposite the town's main entertainment venue, the Astor Theatre. [4]
