AmericaJR’s Jason Rzucidlo recently visited the brand new Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. The Academy Museum will be the largest U.S. institution devoted to moviemaking. It is devoted to the history, science, and cultural impact of the film industry. It is the first large-scale museum of its kind in the United States. The museum is located in the historic May Company Building on the intersection Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue, part of Museum Row on the Miracle Mile. Originally expected to open in 2020, its completion and opening was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The museum eventually opened to selected celebrity guests on September 25, 2021, and to the general public on September 30.
