EXPOSITION PARK, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Hollywood Hills are home to many celebrities, including Los Angeles' most famous mountain lion - P-22.

Now P-22 will be the star of his own exhibit at the Natural History Museum, which is called "The Story of P-22 - L.A.'s Most Famous Feline."

The 500-foot installation follows the cougar's extraordinary story and features a large map showing where he lives, a freeway crossing simulation and videos gathered by the museum's scientists.
