About the installation

Step inside the light with the mesmerizing, two-story Glow: A Cinematic Moodscape at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. This new installation is a multi-sensory, immersive experience centered on six aesthetic themes that moviemakers have revisited again and again—Sunrise and Sunset, Moon, Neon, Candlelight, Fireworks, and Campfire—integrating synchronized projections, dynamic lighting, and an original music score to take visitors on a cinematic journey.

Begin your experience on the second floor and surround yourself with a dazzling montage—featuring compelling imagery from beloved movies spanning genres, countries, and time periods—to rediscover color and light in unforgettable new ways.

Glow: A Cinematic Moodscape is organized by Associate Curator Dara Jaffe.
