The Boston area is filled with academic superstars - so why not bring them to the movies? With Science On Screen, we present a feature film or documentary with a basis in science, along with exciting introductions by noted scientists in a related field.
Science on Screen programs are $9.75 regular admission, or $7.75 for seniors, students, and Museum of Science members.
Members of the Coolidge Corner Theatre get FREE admission to these shows.
The new season of Science On Screen starts in September 2009
Coming Soon:
Feb 8 - FIGHT CLUB with Richard Wrangham, author of Demonic Males: Apes and the Origins of
Human Violence, and professor of biological anthropology at Harvard University
The Science on Screen series is co-presented by The Museum of Science and New Scientist magazine. Special thanks to our fiscal sponsors: Alex & Brit d'Arbeloff; Gesmer Updegrove, LLP; The Hamilton Company; and to our series creator, Richard Anders.
