This museum is charming! It has 4 floors filled with interesting exhibits, with the first floor being the largest and most stunning. The festive Christmas trees were such a delightful addition for December. The staff at the front desk was incredibly friendly. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I finished exploring everything in less than 30 minutes, which feels a bit rushed for a $12 (discounted) ticket.

This is definitely a must-see spot while visiting Hollywood! It's probably the best value for any ticket you’ll find at $15, offering a glimpse into fascinating memorabilia and a bit of history along the way. While I understand the desire for more in-depth details on some items, given the sheer volume of exhibits, I can't fault them for not covering everything!

An excellent museum featuring various exhibits of screen-used costumes, props, and vehicles across multiple levels. It's affordable to enter and you can spend about one to two hours fully exploring. There are some fantastic items and rich history showcased here!

Don’t judge this museum by its exterior - step inside to uncover thousands of original costumes, props, jewelry, and everything else related to movies. Despite being filled with exhibits, it doesn’t feel overcrowded - every piece is given the respect it deserves. Add this to your list of places to visit, get your camera ready, and enjoy!

This place is worth a visit for its historical architecture and original rooms. However, I found the museum to be quite chaotic and outdated. The information is not presented in an organized manner; I read everything but still left without a clear understanding of Hollywood’s history.
