LOS ANGELES : Actors Tom Hanks and Anna Kendrick on Tuesday hailed a new museum in Los Angeles dedicated to filmmaking, calling it a celebration of an art form that has made a global impact.

Hanks, a member of the board of trustees for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, said it was important that Los Angeles have a showcase for the movie business, as the home of Hollywood. On display are movie memorabilia including a pair of red slippers from"The Wizard of Oz," the Rosebud sled from"Citizen Kane" and a R2-D2 model from"Star Wars," along with costumes and video displays running film clips.

Plans for the museum were first announced in 2012 with a projected 2016 opening, but building was repeatedly delayed.
