The Hollywood Museum is thrilled to roll out the red carpet and provide you with a custom, private event that delivers an authentic Hollywood experience for 20- 500 guests.  Your event will be filled with true Hollywood magic as your guests will be dazzled by the glamour of The Historic Max Factor Building and delight in seeing more than 10,000 real show biz treasures on display in The Hollywood Museum.

You will explore costumes, awards, photos, cars, sets, posters and prized possessions of Hollywood’s famous legends—spanning 100 Years of Hollywood—from the Silents to Talkies to Hollywood’s Golden Era, Film Noir, through the rebellious 60’s, special effects 70’s, evolving 80’s,  involved 90’s, technological 2000’s, and beyond to current day heartthrobs!

The museum is pleased to offer turn-key special events for personal, corporate, and fundraising celebrations. Someone’s in the Kitchen, our award-winning caterer and design team, will professionally orchestrate the food, beverage, and décor while working closely with you to tailor selections and budget for your star-studded event.

Options include music, entertainment, a red-carpet “step and repeat” plus an “all access pass” that lets guests party in the museum’s top-floor Penthouse Ballroom and explore all four floors of authentic Hollywood memorabilia, including the basement’s spine tingling “Dungeon of Doom”.
