Hollywood Entertainment Museum

"Fun with the Family"

CLOSED IN JULY 2006. PLANNING FOR EXPANSION AND RENAMING TO THE LA MUSEUM IN PROCESS.
This museum, which opened in 1996, is the Smithsonian of the film and television world, a la L.A.: gaudy, brassy, and neon-lit. It’s a monument to Hollywood’s glitzyand glamorous past and provides a behind-the-set look at the nuts-and-bolts mechanics of the movie and TV industry, from sound effects to scenery. There are high-tech and multimedia exhibits, too. Small-group tours are available with savvy guides.
