A fiberglass replica of Bruce, the shark featured in Steven Spielberg's classic 1975 film Jaws, was hoisted up above the main escalator of the new Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, where he will greet guests for the foreseeable future.

The shark is expected to be a major draw for the museum, which plans to open its doors to the public on April 30, 2021. The shark will be hanging in a public area where people can see him without paying for a museum ticket.
"We plan on having Bruce greet our visitors for as long as we can keep him up there," Academy Museum Director Bill Kramer said. "It's a free space and a free moment for our visitors to bring delight and hopefully inspire them to learn more about the movies, the history of visual effects, and how this prop was made."
