Movie artifacts from 'Superman III,' 'Corpse Bride' and 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' will enter the museum’s permanent collection.
The Batman mask donned by George Clooney and the puppets used in Tim Burton’s stop-motion animation Corpse Bride are among 30 Hollywood movie artifacts headed to the Smithsonian Institute’s National Museum of American History.
Warner Bros. chairman Barry Meyer presented the studio's donation of props and costumes from films made from 1942 to 2005. The movie memorabilia -- including the costume Christopher Reeve wore for Superman III, will join the museum’s permanent entertainment collection, which already houses the iconic ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz and a Kermit the Frog puppet.
