The Hollywood Museum

The two teens and I loved taking our time as we walked thru the museum! It was filled with classic movie collections, readings, wardrobe and all things cool! We loved the set ups and it was even more exciting as we walked down to the basement to see the classic horror films and horror movies sets! A bit creepy but it was meant to be! The whole feel of it is nostalgia and it was walking into the times that made Hollywood great! We’ve gone to thee museums in the area but this was our favorite for all the original items they have! We spent over two hours and love soaking it all in as we took many pictures! Some highlights besides the basement were the Scooby Doo van, the Rocky fighter robe, Pee Wee Herman Bike, Star Wars Vader, Happy Days, Lavern and Shirley , planet of the Apes and sooo much more!! You will not be disappointed by visiting this museum, it is conveniently located right on the strip and makes a great spotlight to the many things on the Hollywood area!

Forget the generic wax museums and commercialized gift shops of Hollywood Boulevard. If you want to experience the authentic magic, glamour, and underbelly of cinema history, you need to run—not walk—to the Hollywood Museum. This is the definitive crown jewel of Tinseltown attractions, offering an immersive, four-story journey through a century of entertainment. The magic begins the moment you step up to the striking pink facade of the historic Max Factor Building. Inside, you are instantly transported to the Golden Age of cinema. Thisisn't a collection of replicas; it is a stunning, breathtaking labyrinth of more than 10,000 real showbiz treasures. Film buffs will marvel at the sheer scale of authentic costumes and screen-used props spanning silent films, classic Talkies, gritty Film Noir, and modern blockbusters. The curation is masterfully unique. On the ground floor, you can explore MaxFactor's meticulously restored, world-famous makeup rooms—specially colour-coded by hair colour for icons like Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland. It is a vibrant celebration of style and glamour. However, the museum's true stroke of genius lies in its staggering contrast. Descend the stairs into

"My wife requested to come here for Mother's Day, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much is packed into this building! It wasn't crowded at all, which made it easy to explore the different floors. The 'spooky' floor in the basement was definitely a highlight—really cool setups and memorabilia. I honestly didn't expect to see so much history and variety here. I’ll definitely be visiting again and bringing friends along to check out this hidden gem."

I’ve been coming to this place for years and it never changes and only gets more endearing. One of the better icons of the Boulevard, and more fun than the overpriced Academy museum. Fans of Old Hollywood will dig the autograph collection. Come for the “Nothing is Sacred” dioramas, Stay for the beautiful bathrooms!

A hidden gem in the heart of Hollywood! I really enjoyed my visit to the Hollywood Museum. It’s packed with original costumes, props, and memorabilia from classic films to modern blockbusters. The basement dungeon (where they showcase horror and sci-fi) was spooky and fun, and the Marilyn Monroe exhibit was a highlight! The museum is located inside the historic Max Factor building, so the setting itself feels like part of Hollywood history. It’s not very big, but there’s a ton to see. If you’re a movie or TV fan, you’ll definitely appreciate all the detail. It can get a bit crowded, and the lighting in some areas could be improved, but overall it was a fun and nostalgic experience. Definitely worth a stop if you’re near Hollywood Blvd.
