The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures hosts Jaws: The Exhibition, on view between September 14, 2025 and July 26, 2026. The exhibition celebrates the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s film, a culture-defining thriller that continues to be a fixture in popular culture.
This is the first-ever exhibition of this scale at the Academy Museum focused exclusively on a single film, and the largest mounted exhibition ever for the 1975 movie Jaws, the Oscar-winning film from Universal Pictures. The exhibition features over 200 original objects, including concept illustrations by production designer Joe Alves, a costume worn by Roy Scheider as Brody, original shark design schematics by design engineer Frank Wurmser, and a screen used prop dorsal fin, along with behind-the-scenes revelations and interactive moments.
Jaws: The Exhibition illustrates how the film became the first summer blockbuster that forever changed the motion picture industry.
Curated with direct access to the collections from Steven Spielberg and The Amblin Hearth Archive, NBC Universal Archives & Collections, and more, Jaws: The Exhibition lets visitors step into the world of the iconic film, scene-by-scene.
