Hollywood Museum Re-Opening with the Back to the Future Exhibit

HOLLYWOOD — A popular Hollywood tourist destination boasting a collection of more than 10,000 movie items, film fans of all ages can again visit the Hollywood Museum which reopened to the public on Aug. 4 (see www.thehollywoodmuseum.com).

Closed during much of the pandemic, a slew of stars were on hand to celebrate the event, including actors Donald Fullilove and Claudia Wells from the “Back to the Future” franchise. A $5,000 check was presented to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research on behalf of the museum and Bill and Patrick Shea, avid “Back to the Future” collectors.

Fox, who starred in the beloved movie trilogy, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991 at age 29 and later established the foundation (www.michaeljfox.org) to aid research for a cure.

“We are so happy to be able to once again welcome our fans, post-pandemic, from the U.S. and all over the world back to The Hollywood Museum,” said Donelle Dadigan, founder and president of the museum.

“We have been looking forward to this day! Our priority is the safety of our visitors and to ensure everyone has the best experience as they return to the museum.”

The museum, located in the Max Factor Building on Highland Avenue south of Hollywood Boulevard, will reopen with a “Back to the Future” exhibition, along with a Cat Women Exhibit and displays in tribute of Marilyn Monroe, Harry Potter, the Pointer Sisters and modern superheroes.
