‘Hollywoodland: Jewish Founders and the Making of a Movie Capital’ Exhibit Debuts at the Academy Museum


The Academy Museum is debuting the new exhibit 'Hollywoodland: Jewish Founders and the Making of a Movie Capital' on May 19 in Los Angeles.

That experience comes to life for visitors at the Academy Museum’s new permanent exhibit “Hollywoodland: Jewish Founders and the Making of a Movie Capital,” which opens to the public on Sunday in Los Angeles. The exhibit, housed in the museum’s Laika Gallery, opens more than two years after the Academy was criticized for not including much material covering the largely Jewish moguls who created the studio system. Based on Neal Gabler’s book “An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywoodand,” it shows how the studio founders’ vision of the American Dream came to define the movies they made.
