Visiting the Museum (17 min.) and The Mummy (73 min.)
FREE. Pre-registration recommended.

Thrills and chills await you at this premiere screening of “Visiting the Museum” produced by Latino Art Beat, a not-for-profit national arts organization that encourages filmmaking by talented Latino youth. In this short film, two teenaged boys see a clip of the classic Boris Karloff movie “The Mummy” on their way to do research at the Oriental Institute. Filmed in the Institute’s galleries, the suspense builds as the boys discover and thenundefinedmuch to their dismay!undefinedaccidentally bring an ancient Egyptian mummy to life.

We invite you to come in an ancient Egyptian-style costume or even as an Egyptologist and stay for more scary entertainment with a screening of the 1932 Karloff classic. This film will be introduced by John Larson, Oriental Institute Museum Archivist and film historian, who will also be a judge as we award prizes for the best Egyptian costume.
