Movie Resources to Download

On this page you can find resources to use in your own movies. All of these images and videos have their own story to tell and you can learn more about some of them by clicking on the "Learn more" link next to it, which will take you to other areas in our website to explore or tell you where in the Museum you can find more information. And if that is still not enough, you can always send us an email to ask a question!

There are many ways you can use these assets in your movies: you can use them as a background, animate them across the screen, print them off and cut them out, and much more. Just remember that it is important to mention the details of anything you have used somewhere in your movie (for example at the very end) - think of it as a way to say thanks to the people who have made the video or picture!
