Commanding the Screen Watch Party: "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian"

Join us for our first “Commanding the Screen” Watch Party on Saturday, September 21 at 8 p.m. in the Main Street Pocket Park presented with the Downtown Little Rock Partnership. Beverages and popcorn will be available for purchase!

We’ll be screening: “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian” (2009).

This adventure comedy finds perpetual underdog Larry Daley getting quite a shock when his mantle as a late-night museum security guard is put to the test after the exhibits come to life once again and begin wreaking havoc. Determined to save the Smithsonian Museum from destruction, Larry takes on a loose T. Rex, Attila the Hun, and Roman gladiators eager to wage the epic battles of years gone by.

“Commanding the Screen: The American Presidency in Film and Television” presents the leading role of the president in American society through the lens of television and film. This exhibition invites visitors to explore cinematic performances of fictional and real-life presidents and examine how America’s spirit, values, and historical journey are reflected in these portrayals of the Commander in Chief. It features original costumes, authentic props, and other memorabilia from portrayals of the American presidency on screen.
