• Autry National Center. "The Autry National Center is an intercultural history center formed from the merger of three important museums: the Southwest Museum of the American Indian, the Museum of the American West (formerly the Autry Museum of Western Heritage), and the Women of the West Museum.

  The Autry National Center presents a wide variety of programs and events throughout the year for our visitors and members on diverse arts and cultures of the American West.

  We chose the word Center—as opposed to Museum—for the overarching name of our institution because while we are about museums, we are also about a larger world of ideas and programs. The Autry National Center explores the distinct stories of cultures and peoples, examining how the interaction of these cultures and peoples affects the complex, evolving history of the American West.

  The Southwest Museum of the American Indian, the Museum of the American West, and the Institute for the Study of the American West are the three public entities that enable the Autry National Center to use different lenses, curatorial specialization, and distinctive lines of intellectual inquiry to delve into the multifaceted study of the American West."

• Kodak Theatre. " Kodak Theatre is the crown jewel of the Hollywood & Highland Center retail, dining and entertainment complex located in the heart of historic Hollywood. The 3,400 seat theatre opened in November 2001 and soon thereafter became known to more than one billion people across the globe as the first permanent home of the Academy Awards®. Kodak Theatre is operated by TheatreDreams LA/CHI, LP.
  
  Built at a cost of $94 million, Kodak Theatre was designed by the internationally-renowned Rockwell Group to be as glamorous as its onstage artists and celebrity guests, yet capable of serving the enormous technical needs of a live worldwide television broadcast on Oscar® night. The naming of Kodak Theatre, in a 20-year marketing partnership with Eastman Kodak Co., was one of the most significant non-sports corporate sponsorships in history. Kodak’s prominence and long-standing connection to the film industry in Hollywood made the relationship a natural. In fact, for the 77th consecutive year, ever since the inception of the Academy Awards, Best Picture was produced on Kodak film."
