Those going to Hollywood a few days before or staying a few days after the Festival, there are two exhibits you might want to check out:
Television: Out of the Box is at the Paley Center in Beverly Hills and features clothes and props from sixty years of Warner Bros television on display.

The Los Angeles County Art Museum (LACMA) has the wonderful
California Design: Living in a Modern Way exhibit. It's part of the larger Pacific Standard Time event that multiple museums have participated in.
LACMA's contribution is a wonderful exhibit of furniture, decorative arts, the Charles and Ray Eames living room, Dick Van Dyke's Avanti automobile, leisure wear, clothing by Adrian and Edith Head, Cole of California and Jantzen. Cedric Gibbons is also on display including a montage of some of his best sets.

When finished with
California Design go across the walkway to the other pavilion and check out
Metropolis II. Don't miss the history of street lights,
Urban Light (especially at dusk) out in front of the Museum and the
Levitated Mass in the back of the Museum grounds.
