The Hollywood Museum

Frommer's Review

The historic Max Factor Building -- Max Factor was the patriarch of the Hollywood makeup industry -- has finally been restored to its original 1935 Art Deco splendor and is now the home of The Hollywood Museum, which features four floors of famous and rare props (including Hannibal Lecter's cell), costumes (Nicole Kidman's from "Moulin Rouge"), scripts, cameras, awards, and numerous vintage photos and posters from the television, stage, and recording industries. It's arranged for the visitor to experience Hollywood chronologically -- from the Silent Era and Golden Era to current production technology and a glimpse into the future of the industry. The museum, located across from the Hollywood & Highland entertainment complex, also houses a library, a screening room, an education center, and a museum-studio gift shop. Private guided tours are available upon request.
