Brougher says the museum will include over 12 million photographs and 80,000 screenplays as well as props (道具), costumes and other objects from famous films.The Academy Museum will also feature Oscar statuettes (小雕像) donated by actors who won the awards.Brougher says the museum is designed to make visitors feel like they are in a movie, too, with many interactive experiences.“You wont necessarily know whats ing next，” he adds.“Youll be in environments sometimes that make you feel like youve gone back to the past and that youre in the area that youre actually exploring.” He adds that visitors may even get the chance to walk down a red carpet and accept their own Academy Award.Currently, Hollywood only has a few possibilities for visitors. They can go along the Walk of Fame, visit movie studios or see the Dolby Theater, where the Oscars are presented. But beyond these, movie fans have limited possibilities.Eric Garcetti, the mayor of Los Angeles says the Academy Museum will provide visitors with the chance to experience many different parts of the film industry all in one place.
