And it's up to you to plan your visit to the opened-in-2021 museum, or visits, if you like, to fully soak in the silver-screen-y splendor: Screenings of past Oscar winners, in-gallery tours, book signings, and Oscar Nominee programs, along with workshops created for families, are on the late-winter-into-early-spring schedule.

Well, "black tie optional" is the word, but plan on guests looking their very gussiest and regally red-carpet-ready. It's a dashing night, with the extra thrill of knowing you're enjoying the show from within the halls of its famous home base.
Much like the day of the Oscars, and the night, too, "Oscars Season at the Academy Museum" is full-to-brimming with moments that celebrate the movies.
