"Opened in 2021 beside LACMA, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is a Renzo Piano–designed cathedral dedicated to movie magic. It houses millions of movie-related objects including the Jaws shark, Dorothy’s ruby slippers, R2-D2, and E.T. It features permanent and temporary exhibitions on the art of moviemaking, director spotlights, avant-garde filmmakers, and the history of Black cinema." - Travel + Leisure Editors
