Charter a private jet to Los Angeles for the opening of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures
L.A.’s new Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is set to open next summer. This state-of-the-art museum chronicles the art and science of movies through the ages; a must-do for film fanatics and culture vultures alike. Charter a private jet to the new museum to start your visit in fittingly glamorous style.
Inside the museum
The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures spans 300,000 square feet across two buildings: an iconic L.A. landmark and a dazzling new dome.
Cheryl and Haim Saban donated the landmark Saban Building, an art deco theater on Wilshire Boulevard that oozes old Hollywood glamour. The building will house three floors of exhibition space as well as a screening room, with two floors showcasing the permanent exhibition and the third displaying a frequently-rotating roster of temporary exhibitions.
The eye-catching new addition is the Sphere Building, a glass dome built by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano. Here visitors will find the 1,000-seat David Geffen Theatre and the stunning Dolby Family Terrace, which offer panoramic views of the Hollywood Hills. There will also be a restaurant, but the chef and concept have yet to be announced.
Unparalleled visitor experience
Don’t expect your average museum – this is Hollywood, after all, so prepare for movie magic. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has tapped top talent to create an unparalleled visitor experience. One of the industry experts lending his expertise is Oscar-winning film production designer Rick Carter of Avatar fame.
According to Museum Director Kerry Brougher, visiting the museum will be a lot like watching a film. "Visitors will enter a waking dream – one in which they go inside the movies to experience their magic, as well as the art and science that makes that magic possible.”
So what will you see as you wander through this dreamlike place? Headlining exhibits include tap shoes worn by Shirley Temple, Judy Garland’s ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz and the set of Rick’s Café from Casablanca.
Opening celebration
While the museum’s launch is still months away, plans are taking shape for a grand opening celebration. With fundraising campaign chairs like Tom Hanks, Annette Bening and Bob Iger, it’s sure to be a star-studded event.
