Movie buffs boarding flights to Los Angeles <\/a><\/strong>may soon have a new place to get their cinematic fix. A movie museum is coming to Los Angeles<\/strong>, though like many Hollywood projects facing budget constraints, plans have been scaled back from original soaring heights.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said Tuesday that it plans to join forces with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) to develop a movie museum inside part of the institution\u2019s existing structure.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That plan is quite a departure from a previous attempt by the Academy to build an enormous, free-standing museum<\/strong> near Sunset Boulevard. Following a Hollywood writers\u2019 strike in 2007 and the economic uncertainty of 2008, fundraising for that project came to a screeching halt.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While the newly announced museum would cost far less to construct, the actual space would be much larger. The LACMA project would allow for 300,000 square feet of exhibition space.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to an Academy spokesperson, the museum could be open within three to five years if all goes according to plan.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Source: NY Times <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
