The building that houses the museum was initially purchased in 1928 by legendary make-up artist to the stars Max Factor.^[4] The building was sold to the Hollywood Museum in 1994. After nine years of renovations, the museum opened to the public in 2003.

In June 2016, during LGBT Pride Month, the museum hosted an exhibition called "Reel to Real: Portrayals and Perceptions of Gays in Hollywood".^[8]

The museum was closed for 17 months in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in California. It reopened in August 2021.^[9]
