1988. Because of space constraints, AMMI did not put any part of
the collection on public exhibit until 1990, when the one-sheet
of "Bwana Devil" was displayed. AMMI also used some slides of
items in the collection for promotional advertising and listed
several of the posters in publicity photographs taken for the
1988 opening.
A number of items were exhibited at museums other than AMMI
during the early 1990's. Five lobby cards and a pressbook for
“Exodus” were exhibited at The Museums at Stony Brook, Stony
Brook, New York, from December 1990 to March 1991 as part of an
exhibition called “Jews in American Cinema”. Three lobby cards
from “The Joe Louis Story” were part of an exhibition entitled
“From Harlem to Hollywood: American Race Movies 1912-1948”, which
was shown at AMMI on two occasions in 1990-91 and 1992-93. That
exhibition was also shown at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston,
Texas, from March to July 1991.
A number of items were also shown at AMMI from May to
September 1994 in an exhibition called “Muky's New York:
Photographer to the Postwar Film Renaissance”. At the time of
trial, AMMI had scheduled an exhibit of the twenty-four-sheet
from “Bwana Devil” after spending approximately $1,000 to restore
and preserve it for exhibition. The twenty-four-sheet from
“Exodus” was also scheduled for display at the same time as part
of the same exhibition.
