The Basics
Located in the heart of Hollywood, and just steps from major landmarks like the TCL Chinese Theatre and the Egyptian Theatre, the Hollywood Museum showcases a wide array of cinematic treasures. Collection highlights range from items once owned by Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland to Hannibal Lecter’s jail cell set from The Silence of the Lambs. The rooms where stars like Joan Crawford and Katharine Hepburn were once “done up” by the legendary makeup artist Max Factor are a particular must-see.
The Hollywood Museum is included in the cost-saving Go Los Angeles Card. It’s also easy to plan your own visit as part of a neighborhood tour—book tickets online before you visit to make logistics stress-free.
