The Hollywood Museum photos

OK, took a bit longer than I anticipated but here are the photos I took when I visited the Hollywood Museum.

They had Jean Harlow and a Marilyn Monroe exhibits running at the time of my visit.

Oh, and I should mention that the museum is housed in the original Max Factor building.

Some Jean Harlow info.

The doors to the make up rooms really did have signs on them saying "Blondes only room", "Brownettes only room", etc.

Not a torture device.  See next photo for explanation.
See, told you it wasn't a torture device.  LOL

This & the following are just a few of the MANY photographs on the walls.







This is the most interesting place I have visited so far and would recommend it to visitors of Hollywood.
