Behind the Screen: This exhibition allows visitors to become immersed in the techniques that are used to make film and television possible. At 15,000 square feet, it easily houses a number of film and television history artifacts like cameras, costumes, set design sketches, and much more. Behind the Screen is an enthralling experience for anyone interested in the history of film.
From Mr. Chips to Scarface: Walter White’s Transformation in Breaking Bad: This exhibit focuses on Bryan Cranston’s brilliant performance as Walter White on AMC’s Breaking Bad. Here you’ll explore the transformation of a mild-mannered chemistry teacher into a methamphetamine-cooking drug lord and the powerful acting it took to portray such a dynamic character.
The Booth: The Last Days of Film Projection: The work of photographer Joseph O. Holmes is featured in this exhibition that centers on the quickly dying art form of film projection. The subjects captured in these photographs may be anonymous in their booths but in this exhibition they’re the stars.
