Museum Of The Moving Image Sets ‘The Sopranos’ Exhibition With Series Creator David Chase, Cast Members Steven Van Zandt, Edie Falco & More

EXCLUSIVE: Museum of the Moving Image will pay tribute to HBO‘s iconic mob drama The Sopranos with an exhibition and three special screenings featuring showrunner and series creator David Chase and cast members Steven Van Zandt, Dominic Chianese, Edie Falco, and Annabella Sciorra.

Stories and Sets for The Sopranos, opening February 14 in the NYC Museum’s Amphitheater Gallery, will trace how the series’ narrative and visual worlds were established. Drawing from Chase’s personal archive, the exhibition features scripts, notes, and research that document the development of the series’ story arcs and character trajectories as it moved from a pilot into the first season. It also examines the design of the four principal sites where the series’ central action was set —Dr. Melfi’s office, the Soprano home, the Bada Bing strip club, and Satriale’s Pork Store—through concept art, construction drawings, and ground plans by production designers Edward Pisoni (pilot) and Dean Taucher (season one) .

From February 26–28, the Museum will present three individual screenings of an episode from the groundbreaking third season, followed by a conversation with Chase and cast. See details below.

Thursday, February 26: Celebrating The Sopranos Season 3: An Evening with David Chase and Steven Van Zandt; Episode: “University” (Dir. Allen Coulter, 49 mins.)

Friday, February 27: Celebrating The Sopranos Season 3: An Evening with David Chase, Dominic Chianese, and Edie Falco; Episode: “A Second Opinion” (Dir. Tim Van Patten, 59 mins.)

Saturday, February 28: Celebrating The Sopranos Season 3: An Evening with David Chase and Annabella Sciorra; Episode: “Amour Fou” (Dir. Tim Van Patten, 60 mins.)

The exhibition was made possible with the support of Lisa and Richard Pepler.

Starring the late James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano, The Sopranos aired from 1999-2007 on HBO. Setting a new standard for long-form storytelling and character driven narratives, the series reshaped and influenced American television for decades to come. It won 21 Primetime Emmy Awards out of 112 nominations over the course of its run.

Advance tickets for the screenings are available online at movingimage.org. Access to the exhibition is included with general Museum admission.
