On my most recent visit to Los Angeles, I had the opportunity to visit the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures located on 6067 Wilshire Blvd. Located conveniently near the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, not to mention the LaBrea Tar Pits and the Peterson Automotive Museum, this most recent addition to the local arts scene is well worth it. Ticket prices are reasonable, parking extremely overpriced, but the five full floors of eye-popping exhibits can easily be turning your visit into a day long excursion. Along with a scenic view off the top of the sphere-shaped Geffen Theatre, there is a gift shop, restaurant/bar and a resonantly priced café.

Some of the highlights on our visit, were Backdrop: An Invisible Art, artist, and animator Hayao Miyazaki, and Stories of Cinema, exploring visual and sound aspects of some of the greatest films ever made.

There is a room solely dedicated to the more infamous Oscar moments. In lieu of most recent events, it will most likely need to be updated.

We had tickets to a 7:30 presentation of one of my personal favorite films, Dr. Zhivago, so between museum visit and film, we dashed off to Pink’s Hot Dogs for a couple of gut busting Drew Barrymore’s before returning for Lean’s Epic take on the Russian Revolution.

The Geffen is an 1100 seat movie theatre and features top-notch presentations of some of the greatest films ever made. Some are for Academy Museum members only, but most are open to the public for a very reasonable admission. Upcoming presentations include Planet of the Apes, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Big Chill and others. As a bonus, all films are introduced by experts in their respective fields.

The Academy Museum for Motion Pictures is a must-see for any serious film buff. Learn more at academymuseum.org
