A Night at the (Academy) Museum

After multiple COVID cancellations, Dave finally took his family on a special guided tour of the Academy Museum… yet another in a long, long line of archives that Dave has visited and Ryan has not. The guys chat with the Academy museum’s Senior Curator, Collections and Curatorial Affairs, Nathalie Morris and learn all about the Academy’s collection... from a 40-foot scenic painting for North by Northwest to Francis Ford Coppola’s legendary green velour tuxedo, to a collection of significant typewriters. Plus Nathalie discusses how the museum collects new acquisitions, maybe providing a little DiCaprio-backed competition to us private collectors. Oh, and did we mention the Lucasfilm Archives? Because Ryan has never been there either.
