Program Series: Drop-in Tours
Drop-in Tours: The Art of Moviemaking: The Godfather
Join museum educators every Friday for casual, drop-in style tours of the Art of Moviemaking: The Godfather gallery.
Repeated Event: Nov 8, 2024–Jan 5, 2025
Join the family and venture into the Corleone family's world through the Art of Moviemaking: The Godfather gallery that holds a wide array of original objects from The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather Part II (1974).
Hang out with museum educators on Fridays as they explore the making of the memorable saga about family, power, and loyalty. From costumes to props to scripts and equipment, these materials—many on view for the first time—highlight the contributions of several cinematic branches and how they innovated amid the changing landscape of Hollywood.
A museum educator can be found in the gallery on Level 2 from 1–3pm. It’s an offer you shouldn’t refuse!
All are welcome to join these public, drop-in-style gallery... highlights—free with admission. Stay for a few minutes with a museum educator or longer!
