It's the ultimate premiere—the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, starring a Renzo Piano Building
Workshop design, and a spectacular theater in the round, opens later this year.

High production costs, opening delays—there's been some drama for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, but
nothing to derail a project with serious star power in design architect Renzo Piano Building Workshop, and a great
deal of dedicated ambition to pull it all together. So when the Museum opens later this year, on Wilshire and Fairfax
in the Miracle Mile neighborhood of Los Angeles, and just in time for a new awards season, expect a blockbuster.
