Originally slated to open in 2017, the $484 Million museum was made possible by many high profile Hollywood donors who helped fund the first-ever space dedicated to all things movies.
Screen legend Tom Hanks said recently that ‘t matters for Los Angeles to have this film museum,’ Hanks adding that it had been in talks for over 20 years.
High profile donors for the museum include Barbra Streisand, Steven Spielberg and the Dolby Family.

The space itself was designed by Renzo Piano and boasts four full floors of gallery space and two theaters inside.
Among the legendary film touchstones on display are the Rosebud sled from Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane, Star Wars droids C-3P0 and R2-D2, the Mount Rushmore backdrop from Alfred Hitchcock’s North By Northwest, a full sized shark model from Jaws and Dorothy’s red slippers from The Wizard of Oz.
Bill Kramer, the director and president of the Academy Museum, said in a statement to AP that the museum was ‘committed to celebrating and championing the work of film artists, scholars and professions through our exhibitions, screenings, programs, collections and now, through our annual gala.’
