About us
The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures celebrates the art and science of movies—past, present, and future. Its exhibitions and programs convey the magic of cinema and offer a glimpse behind the screen, illuminating the creative and collaborative process of filmmaking. Designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Renzo Piano, the Academy Museum will restore and revitalize the historic Saban Building—formerly an iconic May Company department store—at the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles. The Saban Building will feature six floors, including exhibition spaces, a 288-seat theater, an education studio, special event spaces, conservation areas, and a café and store. A new spherical addition will connect to the Saban Building with glass bridges and will feature a state-of-the-art 1,000-seat theater and a rooftop terrace with sweeping views of the Hollywood Hills.
