Join Lights, Camera, Action! Hollywood Magic in Pasadena curator Julia Long on a special film history tour of the Fényes Mansion and its grounds. The Fényes Estate has been a popular filming location for over 100 years. Museum benefactor, Eva Scott Fényes was interested in the burgeoning art of filmmaking and invited directors like D.W. Griffith to film at the Fényes Estate – a tradition PMH continues to this day. Learn about the movies, television, music videos, and commercials that have been filmed at the Fényes Estate over the many years.

Admission includes a docent-led Film History Tour and entrance into the Museum’s Lights, Camera, Action! Hollywood Magic in Pasadena exhibition. For exhibition information, click .
