The Los Angeles County Museum of Art shows acclaimed director Stanley Kubrick’s personal collection to the public.

Part of the growing collection of director’s possessions to be offered to be viewed by the public, The Los Angeles County Museum of Art hosts a variety of items from and related to Stanley Kubrick’s films.

During the course of his directing career, Kubrick created multiple award winning films including ‘The Shining’, ‘ A Clockwork Orange’, and ‘Full Metal Jacket’ that pushed the boundaries of the actors who worked with him, and the film industry as a whole.

“I saw that he had the ability to be quite cruel. But I don’t think that it was unfounded cruelty.” said Matthew Modine, star of one of Kubrick’s classic works Spartacus, in a recent interview with Scott Tennent of LACMA.

“He couldn’t suffer fools or stupidity. That’s not to say that he wasn’t empathetic; he had tremendous empathy.”

In addition to ‘Spartacus’, parts of other films can be viewed upon entering the exhibit. From there, exhibit goers are free to explore different sections, broken down by film.

Original movie posters adorn the walls alongside first drafts of scripts, letters to various actors, and costumes.

Film students will be able to see the exact steps that Kubrick took to make his hits and view the camera used for most of his films.

Tim Deegan, the Director of Guest Services at LACMA, worked as his summer intern during the creation of ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ and recalled just how important Kubrick was.

“As a very young teenager, I realized how important it was for Kubrick to control every aspect of his movies, and to this day—from 2001 to Lolita to A Clockwork Orange—one can see what a difference that attention to detail made.”
