Kicks Off Holiday Events at the Boca Raton Museum of Art
Blockbuster Museum Show Breaks Attendance Records . . .Ben Mankiewicz, the prime-time host of Turner Classic Movies (TCM), greeted hundreds of fans and kicked off a series of Holiday events at the Boca Raton Museum of Art’s nationally acclaimed exhibition “Art of the Hollywood Backdrop,” now in its final five weeks of a spectacular run (on view through Jan. 22).
“There are so many avid film lovers and TCM fans in South Florida who loved seeing this exhibition, a testament to the power of classic Hollywood films,” adds Ben Mankiewicz.
“These are literally some of the largest paintings ever created in the world, similar to cyclorama paintings”
“Aside from the original cast and crew working in the sound stages when these Hollywood movies were made, no one else has set eyes upon them”
“This is the first time the public can see this collection in person”
“Takes large-scale, immersive, and virtual reality to a whole new level”
