7 Museums Worth Planning Trips Around in 2019
"The six-story, 300,000-square-foot Academy Museum of Motion Pictures will touch down on La La Land’s Miracle Mile in 2020. Its all-star cast includes Pritzker Prize-winning architecture firm Renzo Piano Building Workshop, which was charged with remaking the historic Saban Building at Wilshire and Fairfax, and Rick Carter, an Oscar-winning production designer (Jurassic Park, Avatar, Star Wars IX) driving the exhibition blueprints. The museum collection includes more than 12 million photographs, 80,000 screenplays, 61,000 movie posters, and some 2,500 collectible objects. Among them: the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz (1939), David Bowie’s Jareth ensemble from Labyrinth (1986), and life masks of Grace Kelly and Clark Gable."
