Movie Madness Museum
“In 1989, I remember seeing a special presentation at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood,” says Movie Madness founder Mike Clark. “They had some of the greatest and most famous costumes and props from all of my favorite movies on display. I remember thinking how cool it was to see these things from my favorite movies up close and in person. I wanted my friends and other movie fans to share in that experience, too.”
How it all began…
Mike purchased his very first piece of Hollywood memorabilia in 1995: Diane Keaton’s dress from the academy award winning film THE GODFATHER PART II. With that first piece of Hollywood history, Mike Clark’s “Museum of Motion Picture History” was born.
Countless auctions and generous donations later, Mike Clark has now collected more than 100 one-of-a-kind costumes and props that span the entire history of cinema – from the silent era to modern classics. Currently on display at Movie Madness, you’ll find pieces from early silent films with Charlie Chaplin and Mary Pickford; classics like CITIZEN KANE, CASABLANCA, and PSYCHO; and more recent films like EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE and AMERICAN FICTION.
