The Hollywood Museum at 1650 Highland Avenue, just south of Hollywood Blvd., is located in an Art Deco pink and green marble building that used to be the Max Factor makeup studio and factory, opened in 1935. The bottom floor preserves Max Factor's original four makeup studios, decorated to compliment the coloring of blonds, red heads, brunettes, and what he dubbed "brownettes".

The three upper floors and basement are crammed full of movie props and costumes and tributes to film stars, including Marilyn Monroe and Bob Hope.
