, its respected director. At the time, there were reports of conceptual disagreements between members of the Academy board and its more academically oriented museum professionals.
The museum has been governed by a complicated structure, with policy recommendations coming from the Academy’s Board of Governors, the Academy’s Museum Foundation and a third board comprising professional museum officials. “Philosophical differences inevitably came forward,” said one Academy member and donor close to the project. “Was it all going to be about a museum or a show business museum?”
The Academy was first announced as a $250 million edifice, but its ambitions expanded over the years, encompassing more exhibits and more interior space. Hovering atop a 1939 May Company structure, the museum encompasses a spherical glass dome designed by Renzo Piano. Its exhibitions announced early on included a retrospective of the work of Hayao Miyazaki, the Japanese filmmaker, and a program titled “The Regeneration of Black Cinema 1900-1970.
The Lucas Museum, which will be free to the public, was originally going to open in San Francisco, but George Lucas and his colleagues clashed with city officials, resulting in the switch to Los Angeles. The cost of the Academy Museum is presently listed at $388 million, but it is understood that additional fundraising will be required, pushing the project past the $400 million mark. Ron Meyer, long a top executive at Universal, heads the museum’s board, and, according to reports, has been a major factor in bringing the divergent points of view together under an anticipated new regime.
