The Hollywood Motion Picture and Television Museum is a film museum planned for 2017. It is due to be built on a 4-acre site directly across from the Hollywood Bowl on Highland Ave. The building will include two sound stages and an observation gallery, where visitors will view the actual production of motion picture and television shows, and a theater with a seating capacity of 500 people, where great films of the past and present will be shown. There will be projection rooms for private viewing or lectures, a library, restaurant and research facilities. The major portion of the museum will be devoted to displays, depicting the history of motion picture, television and radio and recording industries and showing the technical aspects of each.
Bill Kramer is the managing director of the academy's $300 million museum project. The museum is expected to open in the summer of 2017.
