The vision of the much-anticipated Academy Museum of Motion Pictures came into much clearer focus this week. The Courier was amongst invited media attending a virtual tour and press update on March 10 that offered the most extensive preview to date of the museum’s design, mission and experiential tone.
The event included remarks by Academy Museum Director and President Bill Kramer, Academy Museum Chief Artistic and Programming Officer Jacqueline Stewart and the celebrated, Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano, who designed the structure. Academy Award-winning actress and Academy Museum Trustee Laura Dern led much of the virtual tour, with guests such as Guillermo del Toro and Spike Lee appearing as well.
