Custom wallpaper illustration - The Art of Moviemaking: The Godfather

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 at 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 makeup elements, props, scripts, and equipment, these materials—many on view for the first time—highlight the contributions of the cinematic branches, and how they innovated amid the changing landscape of Hollywood.

The Art of Moviemaking: The Godfather is curated by Assistant Curator Sophia Serrano with support from Curatorial Assistant Esme Douglas and in collaboration with Paramount Pictures and American Zoetrope.
