The Hollywood Museum is a museum located at North Highland Avenue in the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, United States, houses a collection of memorabilia from the history of American motion pictures and television. It is housed in the historic Max Factor Salon on Highland Avenue[3][4] designed by American architect Simeon Charles Lee.

The collection of the Hollywood Museum contains over 11,000 items, including costumes, props, stop motion figures, photographs, scripts, and other artifacts.[5] Among the exhibits are the original four makeup rooms used by pioneering Hollywood makeup artist Max Factor—one for redheads, one for blondes, one for brownettes, and one for brunettes.[6]
