London Film Museum displays a large number of costumes and props from cinemas around the world. With art master classes and tours and an auditorium to rent.

Positive: From Harry Potter to Charlie Chaplin, they have a wide variety on display.

Negative: From a layout perspective its not very exciting, it seems quite boring and straight forward.

Newbridge hold displays to icons such as Marilyn Monroe, Princess Grace Kelly, Princess Diana, Michael Jackson, The Jackson Five, The Beatles, Dean Martin, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor and Bette Davis.

The museum exhibits costumes, clothes, books, magazine covers, letters, documents, shoes, guitars, props, and sketches for several icons. With headphones and voiceovers that explain their lives and careers.

Positive: It’s very well laid out, and was very interesting the way they have different aspects to each exhibit.

Negative: I would really like if it was more exciting and more hands on.

So from the research i conducted on these film museums, i feel they're quite boring and id like to change this and try to make them more exciting and enjoyable and not just walking around a room and looking at pictures and costumes.
