Grab your picnic blankets — and face masks — and head to the MAC for a special movie night under the stars, showing a very fitting title: Night at the Museum. While you and the family are enjoying the special outdoor screening in the museum’s amphitheater, perhaps the gallery exhibits inside its walls are coming to life, too, as the comedy starring Ben Stiller proposes. Before you settle in for the film, pay a visit to the MAC’s current exhibits, which are open late, until 7:30 pm (regular admission still applies). You’ll find a retrospective on famous ornithologist John James Audubon, plus the interactive science exhibit Roots of Wisdom. Also catch What We Make: Nature as Inspiration and Wild Things; the latter is a period clothing display inside the Campbell House.
