The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is the world’s premier institution dedicated to the art and science of movies. Global in outlook and grounded in the collections and expertise of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the museum offers unparalleled exhibitions and programs illuminating the fascinating world of cinema. The immersive and dynamic exhibits tell the stories of the featured movies—their art, technology, artists, history and social impact—through a variety of diverse and engaging voices. The Academy Museum tells complete stories of movie making: celebratory, educational, and sometimes critical or uncomfortable. Originally expected to open in 2020, its completion and opening was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The museum eventually opened to selected celebrity guests on Sept. 25, 2021, and to the general public on Sept. 30.
On July 14, 2022, the museum voluntarily recognized Academy Museum Workers United as the bargaining representative for 160 of its employees.
The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is located in Los Angeles, California. It is constructed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which is devoted to the history, science and cultural impact of the film industry. It is the first large-scale museum of its kind in the United States. The museum is located in the historic May Company Building on the intersection Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue, part of Museum Row on the Miracle Mile.
The cost of the trip is $80 including an admission ticket, transportation, lunch, snacks, water, and driver’s gratuity.
The pick-up location is in front of the Amphitheater bus terminal, at 8:15 a.m. The group will be back before 6 p.m. at the same location.
