Another museum seen in movies is the Hollywood Museum where the scene of Karla Fry robbing a jewelry store was filmed for Beverly Hills Cop II which was once the Max Factor Museum and was also seen in the movie directed by Jack Nicholson, The Two Jacks.
Also, from the movie Pretty Woman, the Natural History Museum in Exposition Park was seen as the exterior of the opera house where Edward and Vivian watch La Travista.
