Sarah Marshall Versus Hollywood
About This Museum
People don't just stumble upon the Sarah Marshall Versus Hollywood museum; they make a pilgrimage. Tucked away in Loanhead, this is a deeply personal shrine to an actor who dared to challenge the studio system, curated with a fan's passion and an archivist's eye. You come not just to see props and posters, but to understand the woman behind them—her battles, her triumphs, her singular vision. It feels less like a formal exhibition and more like being let in on a wonderful secret.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the collection is a wall of annotated scripts from her most contentious films, her furious pencil notes scrawled in the margins arguing with directors. Alongside these are the iconic emerald green gown she wore to the Oscars the year she famously boycotted her own nomination and a touching collection of fan letters from aspiring actors she personally mentored.
Visitor Information
Heads up for anyone planning a trip: it's currently listed as temporarily closed, so you'll want to check for updates before heading to its home at the Jacaranda building on Burnside Road.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a converted industrial unit, the museum's unassuming red-brick exterior gives nothing away, making the treasure trove of Hollywood rebellion inside all the more surprising and intimate.
