The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Thursday, Oct. 18, 2012, that the first major American museum dedicated to film will occupy the historic May Company Wilshire building. Piano and Pali's design restores the street front facades of the 1938 building and will include a new modern movie theater. (AP Photo/AMPAS, Renzo Piano Building Workshop)
