Overview

• Jaws: The Exhibition opens to the public Sept. 14, 2025, and runs through July 26, 2026, at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles.
• The show spans 11,000 square feet with more than 200 artifacts, including the sole surviving full‑scale Bruce shark model.
• Interactive stations let visitors recreate the dolly zoom, play John Williams’ two‑note theme, operate a scale mechanical shark, and step into recreated environments like the Orca cabin.
• Spielberg recalled production chaos—mechanical failures in salt water, weather and regattas disrupting shots, seasick crew, and a 100‑day schedule overrun—saying he was offered chances to shut the film down.
• Amy Homma announced a full Steven Spielberg career retrospective for 2028, as curators detailed a three‑year artifact hunt drawing from Amblin archives and private collections, even locating editor Verna Fields’ Oscar via an eBay transaction.
