These new exhibitions contrast two different versions of a ‘classic’ film with Casablanca and BOYZ N THE HOOD. These rotations give our visitors many wonderful reasons to come back, while offering an extraordinary invitation to others to engage with the museum.”Īdded the Museum’s Chief Artistic and Programming Officer, Jacqueline Stewart: “In our core exhibition, we are excited to continue offering a multitude of perspectives on film and filmmaking, drawing on the unmatched resources of our collection. We are delighted to present a new round of stories, explorations, moving images, props, and other objects that explore the many facets of moviemaking – from the founding of Hollywood to present day. Said Academy Museum Director and President, Bill Kramer: “The history of film is endlessly rich and varied, which is why we envisioned the exhibitions of the Academy Museum as a continually evolving set of installations and virtual content. Over time, new objects, images, and interviews will be added to various galleries, including Gregory Peck’s Oscar for To Kill a Mockingbird, storyboards and scripts from Hitchcock’s Rebecca and The Birds, costumes designed by Travis Banton, Edith Head and Ann Roth, and interviews with film editors Maysie Hoy, Carol Littleton, and Sam Pollard, among others.Ĭoncurrently, the Academy Museum’s public spaces-the Sidney Poitier Grand Lobby, the Ted Mann Lobby, the Netflix Lounge, the Walt Disney Company Piazza, the Dolby Family Terrace, the Gerry Schwartz and Heather Reisman Mezzanine, and the spine of the museum-will be updated by Kulapat Yantrasast and WHY Architecture.
