Several chose to shine a light on historic figures who did not receive full recognition in their lifetimes, like Jadwiga Grabowska-Hawrylak, Minnette de Silva and Lin Huiyin.

LOS ANGELES We re taking a look inside the new Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, which officially opens its doors to the public on September 30. Here s everything we can expect from this institution dedicated to the movies.
One impressive site is the 1,000-seat state-of-the-art David Geffen Theater. It s one of two theaters in this 300,000 square foot museum that will celebrate cinema s past, present and future.
The Academy Museum will certainly be a place to explore, to enjoy, to marvel and to learn.

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures won’t open until Sept. 30, but you can “visit” as soon as April. The museum held an online media preview Wednesday, during which it announced that virtual programming will start on its website April 22.
The museum is the public face of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The 93rd Oscars ceremony will spotlight the film industry on April 25, and the museum is rolling out the virtual red carpet a few days before with screenings, panel discussions,
educational workshops and other online events.
“The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures has long been a dream of the academy, the city of Los Angeles and the film industry,” Director Bill Kramer said in his welcome address Wednesday.
