I have to confess up front that I’m not a “Seinfeld” fan, but I know many, many people who are. And for their sakes, I got up early on the morning of Tuesday, Dec. 15, and headed to Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood, where streaming service Hulu is celebrating its exclusive acquisition of the long-running comedy by filling a storefront with exact replicas of Jerry Seinfeld’s New York apartment (a similar exhibit ran for a short time in New York City this past summer).
I can’t show you a whole picture of the exhibit facade, since it features a very large mural of George Costanza posing in his underwear.
Those images are also here, but much, much smaller.
All of the following images will mean much more to “Seinfeld’ aficionados than they do to me, but I can tell you that the first 50 fans at the exhibit every day will get a desktop version of the “Festivus” pole, the centerpiece of the show’s idiosyncratic Dec. 23 alternative to Christmas (all I know is that feats of strength and an airing of grievances are also included).
There’s also a painting of the show’s writers in the style of “The Last Supper” — with a rather interesting shadow.
Enjoy the rest of the tour.
“Seinfeld: The Apartment” is open to the public at 8445 Melrose Avenue from Dec. 16-20, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (last entry at 6:30 p.m.)
So, if you happen to find yourself in Los Angeles over the next few days, drop by.
