Designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Renzo Piano[1], the recently opened Academy Museum of Motion Pictures[2] in Los Angeles is the largest institution in the U.S. dedicated to the art and science behind film and filmmaking. The seven-story building features 50,000 square feet of exhibition spaces, the 288-seat Ted Mann Theater, the new Shirley Temple Education Studio, a café and retail space. Connecting to the main Saban Building via glass bridges is a new eye-catching spherical addition that will be home to the state-of-the-art 1,000-seat David Geffen Theater and rooftop Dolby Family Terrace boasting iconic views of the Hollywood Hills.
