The Education and Public Engagement team invites visitors to explore Stories of Cinema, the Academy Museum’s ongoing core exhibition that presents diverse, international, and complex stories of moviemakers and the works they create.

Join museum educators on Friday afternoons to highlight the creativity of movie objects and moviemakers.

In June, our Drop-In Tours will explore Stories of PRIDE. Celebrate historic firsts, stories, and voices of the LGBTQIA+ community within film with museum educators and special guest drag artists. Conversations may focus on filmmakers such as director Pedro Almodóvar, costume designer Irene Sharaff, and the dynamic storytelling of the animated film Flee (2021). Stories of PRIDE will feature drag artists who will discuss an area of inspiration or influence in the galleries.

All are welcome to join this public drop-in style gallery conversation, free with admission, from 1pm to 3pm. Meet educators in the exhibition, on Level 2 in the Wanda Gallery, on Level 3 in the Rolex Gallery, or on Level 4 in the Marilyn and Jeffrey Katzenberg Gallery.
