The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on Thursday announced two new flagship exhibitions opening in Spring 2025. AMPAS’ Los Angeles Museum will host both Director’s Inspiration: Bong Joon Ho, and Barbie to Anna Karenina: The Cinematic Worlds of Sarah Greenwood and Katie Spencer, exploring the work of the Oscar-nominated production design team behind films like Barbie (2023), Anna Karenina (2012), and Beauty and the Beast (2017).

Director’s Inspiration: Bong Joon Ho is the first museum exhibition dedicated to the internationally acclaimed, Oscar-winning film director.

In a continuation of the Academy Museum’s Director’s Inspiration series, the exhibition spotlights Bong Joon Ho’s creative process, filmography, and cinematic influences.

Whether set in 1980s Korea or an imagined future time and space, Bong Joon Ho’s films address issues that are transnational and universal: class disparity, social injustice, the environmental crisis, and political and moral corruption.
