On Thursday, the Academy admitted it won’t be cutting the big red ribbon until at least 2020
Are we absolutely positive that the Academy Museum is not, in fact, some kind of hoax? The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences first announced plans for its hall of antiquities in 2012—but the project has been delayed many times in the seven years since then. Now the organization admits the museum won’t be ready until at least 2020.
The Academy likely knows this—which might be why its latest statement on the matter emphasized the organization’s commitment to creating “a unique and unparalleled museum experience.” “Achieving this has required a highly complex construction effort—renovating a 1939 L.A. landmark, building a new spherical structure that includes a 1,500-panel glass dome and joining them together to produce 300,000 square feet of spectacular public and exhibition space,” the Academy said. “At every decision point along the way, we have always chosen the path that would enhance the structure, even if that meant construction would take more time to complete.
“As we continue working through the permitting process and move closer to completion, we are weighing the overall schedule for major industry events in 2020, and on this basis will choose the optimal moment for our official opening,” the Academy concludes. The unspoken final thought here appears to be, “So please, cut us some slack!”
