Just opened in the fall of 2021, 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. In the Grand Lobby of the Saban Building, visitors are greeted by a soaring, glass walled gallery and multiscreen experience offering an introduction to the new museum. Once
inside the main part of the museum, you’ll be immersed in the world of motion pictures. "Stories of Cinema" is a multifloor exhibition that connects audiences to celebratory, complex, diverse, and international stories of the people who make
motion pictures and the artworks they create. A gallery devoted to The Wizard of Oz takes visitors behind the scenes
of this classic movie to explore the many disciplines that brought it to life. The tour includes roundtrip deluxe motorcoach transportation, lunch at HMS Bounty, and admission to the Academy of Motion Pictures Museum. HMS Bounty menu will be emailed to you before the trip so you can make your lunch selection.
