Ackermansion!
You can always go to the Hollywood Wax Museum (which we understand is cheesey in that falling apart-no one cares way) or Madame Tussaud's (though the tickets are very expensive. Seriously. Who wants to pay that much to look at wax?) but all the cool kids go to Ackermansion, where owner, waxwork and proprietor, Forrest Ackermen -- coiner of the term "sci-fi" -- will show you his peerless collection of memorabilia of that genre including Bela Lugosi's cape from the Dracula films, the girl robot (you know the one we mean) from Metropolis, and the man-eating Brontasaurus from 1933's King Kong while he regales you with stories from working with such famous actors as Boris Karloff. Remarkably, he does all this without leaving his Laz-E-Boy (give him a break, he's 8 million years old!) 4511 Russell Ave, Los Angeles
