Although Los Angeles is notorious for tearing down anything more than 50 years old, occasionally a gem is spared.
The Hollywood Heritage Museum (2100 N Highland Avenue) is considered the birthplace of the Hollywood motion pictures industry. Located in the beautifully restored Lasky-DeMille Barn (c. 1895!), the museum features archival photographs from the silent movie days of motion picture production, movie props, historic documents and other movie related memorabilia as well as historic photos and postcards of the streets, buildings and residences of Hollywood
Wednesday-Sunday 12:00 noon - 4 p.m.
Adults: $7; seniors and students $5; industry workers with studio ID, union or guild card, $5.00, children under 12, Free. Hollywood Heritage members, Free.
Located across the street from the Hollywood Bowl, there is ample free parking, but sometimes the Museum is closed due to events at the Hollywood Bowl. It is a good idea to call first to confirm the museum is open.
