Max Factor Building

Max Factor Building

The Hollywood Museum is housed in the world famous historic Max Factor Building, where Max Factor, wizard of movie make-up worked his magic on motion picture stars since 1935.

The lobby has been restored to its original grandeur. It is a polished Art Deco gem – a white and rose-colored Hollywood oasis of lavish marble, chandeliers, antique furniture, and trompe l’oeil faux finishes – with 22-karat gold and silver leaf.

On the ground floor, you’ll find many original displays from the old Max Factor Make-Up Studio.

Hollywood Museum Exhibits

Exhibits

The Hollywood Museum Museum features four floors of exhibits (two floors above the lobby and a basement below), offering more than 35,000 square feet of exhibit space.

Relax, the museum is a self-guided tour, so you can spend as long as you like admiring any exhibit.

Ground Floor

Ground Floor

The ground floor is made up of the historic lobby, plus Max Factor’s restored make-up rooms, a vintage B&W photo gallery featuring more than 1,000 B&W photos, Cary Grant’s Rolls Royce, Planet of the Apes, Jurassic Park, a tribute to Judy Garland and the "Red Shoes".

Second and Third Floors

Second and Third Floors

These floors are devoted exclusively to costumes worn by famous stars in famous films. Corresponding props, photos and posters create a wealth of Hollywood memorabilia. You’ll see the earliest Technicolor film, a Roman bed from Gladiator, a dog from There’s Something About Mary, and the gold Cadillac from Dreamgirls.

Lower Level

Lower Level

Don’t forget to visit the lower level. What once was a bowling alley and speakeasy during Prohibition days is filled with "all things creepy and scary!"

Walk down the same jail cell corridor that Jodie Foster walked in Silence of the Lambs.

See Hannibals cell and a fantastic array of props from the film including Dr. Hannibal Lecter’s mask.

One ticket to access the city of Hollywood

posted by andrewlaw71 on Jan-10-2012

The package that CityPass offered is worth of its price. If you love history or want to know more about the stories about Hollywood, this is specially for you. Both tours can give you a brief overview on the city of Hollywood and its tourist attractions. Kodak Theatre guided tour gives you an exclusive feeling of being celebrity or producers to access the place on Oscar Academy Award Day.

5 Stars

great value, great experience

posted by nic stef on Jan-07-2012

My wife and I are so pleased with our city passes. It was a great idea to get them, it saved us lots of money for the visits that we may not even have done in the first place, if it weren't for them. The selection of attraction is great, we really enjoyed the walking tour with red-line. Great guide, great stories. We will choose city passes for every city we go to from no on ! It's great.

5 Stars

Really worth it

posted by lizeem on Jan-06-2012

We did all four activities included in the citypass and they were all interesting, espescially the walking tour wich was very fun and instructive. I recommend to do all the activities early in the morning because it is less crowded and you are sure to make the visits at the time you want.

DON'T GO HERE

posted by chad on Dec-28-2011

This city was a sore sight for eyes, its mix of modern and past styles of architecture was abysmal. I strongly recommend that you do not visit this city

We loved it!

posted by Jim on Nov-14-2011

We loved it because: Hollywood CityPASS was a fantastic value; we did not have to wait in lines; and we had a great time touring the Kodak Theater (we were the only two people on the tour so it was like a private tour!), visiting Madame Toussauds Wax Museum, and went on the Starline coach tour and saw dozens of extraordinary Hollywood homes.
