Pleasant surprise visit during a long weekend excursion to LA. The regeneration of cinema exhibition was awesome - especially the exhibition documenting the contribution of Black Americans to the industry which included historical clips and animated components. Wonderful to see so many different people enjoying the exhibit. Well done!

100% Amazing Museum—a movie & museum enthusiast. The Oscar Experience was extremely disappointing—don’t waste your money & I love spending extra $$$ to receive the VIP! While I appreciate & respect the mask policy—not letting you take it off for 15secs in a room by yourself for the Oscar Experience isn’t an experience, its missing the point—the museum need to tell people before they purchase this $15 add on. I didn’t say anything to the staff at the time, I recognize they don’t make the rules. Pls wait until mask are not an issue for this would be fun keepsake idea. It looks silly with the mask on not worth it! But definitely visit the museum its great!

Love the place! Sensory overload! So much to see, learn, absorb, and experience that you definitely need to spend the day wonder I need in and out of ever room on every floor! Do not miss the sound room! Or the Oscar experience (although you still have to wear a mask which ruins it). The views from the Dolby are breath taking! Go! Go! Go! You will love it!

I loved my visit here. I came out for the Miyazaki exhibit. Quick tips/need to knows: tickets: make sure you buy them online and arrive in the window that you are assigned. I came a little early and there was no problem getting in. Parking: you can mark in the garage right next to the museum. The rate is 18 dollars, but when I went there was plenty of spaces. If you want to search for parking you can find some in adjacent streets (limit is 2 hours though). So buy your tickets online and park next to the museum and you should be good to go! I wish I could have brought my kids with me. The exhibit was fantastic and the museum was equally as enjoyable. Not too crowded, and the staff was friendly. Highly recommend!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Can we get in to see the Miyazaki exhibit without a reservation?

paulene popek | Jun 9, 2022
Luc PDX | Jul 9, 2022

The "reservation" is the same as the "ticket" to get in. The reservation/ticket times are to pace out the number of visitors inside the museum at once. They also allow only a certain number of people inside the gift shop /any exhibit at any time. Anyone can go on the ground floor, in the gift shop, and inside the cafe without a reservation or before your entry time. There is a desk on the ground floor where you can purchase a ticket for a specific time, or preferred online. The ticket to the Miyazaki exhibit includes general admittance, so you can visit all floors and other exhibits they have as well, by the way. I went recently and in my opinion it was absolutely worth the price! They also do require proof of vaccination and masking still.

I would call but I would imagine that a ticket is not considered "used" until scanned. If you log-in it show available once your arrival time has passed and allow you to select a new time.

Is it true that the founders of the major movie studios are not showcased in your exhibits? In fact, I understand that they are not even mentioned. What I don't understand is how the museum can claim to be addressing film history with that oversight

Herb Sorkin | Feb 9, 2022
Michael D. | Feb 9, 2022

It appears that they rotate various exhibitions throughout the museum. There are a few, while notable, I didn't seem to grab our attention as much as others did that we specifically came to see. At the beginning of the tour there is some specific information talking about some of the major studios and included notebooks and signatures of some of the heads of the large studios. Film history is diverse and extensive. The space is truly a not that large if you want to showcase every single part of it all the time. I think they're making a good effort at addressing current topics along with providing some important details of the history and some exhibits that are ongoing. Hope that helps.

How do you get a ticket with the EBT discount? I didn’t see no option for it in the ticketing form.

Tony Escobedo | Oct 12, 2021
Mary Ann Logan | Oct 12, 2021

You have to go through the whole process of picking the date that you want to go just like you were ordering the tickets at regular price and when you get to the end it's going to ask for a discount code that's when you put in the last 6 digits of your EBT card and then your balance will be zero.

2 hours to rush thru. I took three hours and took lots of photos. I did the "Oscar Experience" which is fun. You get a 15 second video of you accepting an Oscar. Music and audience reaction (but not your voice) is added. Great detailed exhibits on the various special crafts, like costume design and make-up.

You're better off eating earlier in the day if you intend to eat at Fanny's (the restaurant located within the museum). When I was there we waited until after we'd toured the museum and when we got there they were out of pretty much everything except desserts. The museum is at 50% capacity so the restaurant is making adjustments to their inventory as well.
