Friday, October 3, 2008Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
7 PM
The year is 1936. The location is somewhere deep in the jungles of South America. The hat is a brown Fedora.
Indiana Jones steps into the light to dodge a double-feature's worth of deathtraps in pursuit of a golden idol— and that's just the first ten minutes. Archaeology will never be the same.
Roger Ebert describes Raiders as "an out-of-body experience, a movie of glorious imagination and breakneck speed that grabs you in the first shot, hurtles you through a series of incredible adventures, and deposits you back in reality two hours later— breathless, dizzy, wrung-out, and with a silly grin on your face."
Free tickets for film are available at front desk beginning at 5 pm on a first come, first served basis.
Beverages and Snacks are available from the Acro Cafe.
Additionally, the Museum Store offers after-hours shopping.

Opening reception for Bulldog Pottery
