Burt Reynolds and Friends Museum, Celebrity museum in Jupiter, Florida.
The Burt Reynolds and Friends Museum was a film museum in Jupiter housed in a converted bank building with red walls and crystal chandeliers. The collection featured costumes, awards, photographs, and props from various Hollywood productions along with the actor's personal items and memorabilia.
The museum opened in 2004 and displayed items from the actor's nearby residential collection. It closed in 2012 when the property was redeveloped into a shopping center.
The institution housed the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film and Theatre, where Reynolds and other professionals taught acting and filmmaking classes to students.
The museum was located near downtown Jupiter and easy to reach on foot from the nearby park. The exhibition space was compact enough to view in about one to two hours, making it accessible for casual visitors.
The collection featured the actual canoe used in the film Deliverance and the actor's Emmy Award for his television role in Evening Shade. These two items were standout highlights that many visitors came specifically to see.
