General admission to the film industry’s own museum — Stories of Cinema, the Dolby Family Terrace’s Hollywood Hills views, and the Saban Building’s striking architecture.
Self-pacedEntry ticket, any group sizeFrom €22
The experience
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ own museum — the history of cinema, with Hollywood Hills views from the Dolby Family Terrace.
General admission covers all gallery exhibitions, including Stories of Cinema: Introduction, which traces the work of moviemakers across the industry’s history, and access to the Dolby Family Terrace for views over the Hollywood Hills.
The building itself — the renovated Saban Building alongside the geodesic-domed Sphere — is part of the draw, and Fanny’s, the museum’s full-service restaurant, bar and café, is on site for a break between galleries (not included in the ticket).
