Hulu is bringing its free “Seinfeld: The Apartment” exhibit from New York to Los Angeles, “just in time for Festivus.” True to the season, it will now include a Festivus pole, as well as other items from the long-running NBC TV show. Open to the public from December 16 through December 20, 2015, the exhibit can be found at 8445 Melrose Ave.

Visitors can tour this Hulu replica of the set where an awful lot happened — on a show about nothing. After a rocky start, the Seinfeld TV series ran on NBC for nine seasons, before ending in 1998. While not cancelled, Jerry Seinfeld and crew did not want to do a tenth season. Seinfeld, which now streams on Hulu, stars Seinfeld as himself; Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine Benes; Jason Alexander as George Costanza; and Michael Richards as Kramer.

About Seinfeld

An Emmy and Golden Globe winner for Best Comedy Series, Seinfeld is one of the most popular, most award-winning and longest-running comedy series of all time. Jerry Seinfeld stars as a stand-up comedian whose life in New York City is made even more chaotic by his quirky group of friends who join him in wrestling with life’s most perplexing, yet often trivial questions. Often described as “a show about nothing,” Seinfeld mines the humor in life’s mundane situations like waiting in line, searching for a lost item, or the trials and tribulations of dating. Co-starring are Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Jerry’s ex-girlfriend and current platonic pal, Elaine Benes; Jason Alexander as George Costanza, Jerry’s neurotic hard-luck best friend; and Michael Richards as Jerry’s eccentric neighbor, Kramer.
