A New Museum In Hollywood Dedicated to Films

There is a new museum that will hopefully open in 2017, three years from now. The museum is owned by LACMA, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and they have stated that their goal is to create a place where people can visit and be indulged with the "art, history and technology of cinema." In the article they talked about how a few years back and in different countries, how museums dedicated to films did well in the beginning and then had to eventually shut down because the museums wouldn't be making enough money.
I believe that this article is important enough to be posted on the internet, so that people can see what is going on in the world, especially the film industry. Most people believe that the film industry is mainly focused on creating movies and that is only a small fraction of it. When the museum is finished and opened for the audience people will see have a better understanding about the film industry. This article is important because the museum will be an icon here in Los Angeles, where the entertainment business all started.
This article makes me realize, not only as a teen but also as a future filmmaker, how tough the film industry is, and how people want the world to now that films is an art form and how important it has become for our culture. It makes me realize how people have tried to make film museums successful but have failed towards the end due to financial problems.
I wonder if big companies and groups will contribute to fund the museum for its construction and later on when it has its doors opened for the public and I also wonder how LACMA will try to captivate the world about the museum.
