AMC Networks The Walking Dead will air its final episode this fall. This series has aired for 12 years and spawned a fandom like no other. It is only fitting that a significant exhibit chronicling this groundbreaking series has been established. Beginning June 25 and running until January 1, 2023, the Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) will be hosting Living with The Walking Dead.
If you are a fan of The Walking Dead universe and find yourself near Astoria, NY, do not miss this once-in-a-lifetime event. Tickets run $14–$20 (free or discounted for MoMI members) and can be purchased via the MoMI website. Keep in mind that on Thursdays from 2:00 – 6:00 p.m., general admission to the museum is free with a $5 add-on for Living with The Walking Dead.
Artist Kirk Manley designed the poster for the event, which will be available for sale in the MoIM shop. It is a fantastic tribute piece featuring Rick, Michonne, Carol, Daryl, Maggie, and Negan.
