The Academy Museum opened last year just four days after the first ceremony, sparking a storm of controversy over his political leanings.
Critics have criticized the museum for emphasizing the contributions of various minorities to the American film industry while all ignoring the white Jewish immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe who played a major role in the creation of Hollywood.
The museum responded to the negative response by announcing in March that it would add a permanent exhibition highlighting the Jewish history of filmmaking.
