The Art of Moviemaking: The Godfather features a wide array of original objects from The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather Part II (1974), offering an exciting glimpse into the process of making a masterpiece. Director Francis Ford Coppola’s interpretation of Mario Puzo’s popular novel provided an operatic and poignant reflection on the American dream, making the films an instant phenomenon that not only radically transformed the moviegoing experience, but also moviemaking in the 1970s. From costumes to props to scripts and equipment, these materials—many on view for the first time—highlight the contributions of several cinematic branches, and how they innovated amid the changing landscape of Hollywood.

The Art of Moviemaking: The Godfather is located on Level 2 of the Stories of Cinema exhibition.

Tiqets was so easy! Loved just showing the code within an email on my phone. I didn't need to log into a site first. The Museum is marvelous. Well designed, places to sit if you want to rest a bit or simply be in an area and take everything in. Staff was easily available to answer questions or give directions.
