Join us for The Witches (1990), the second film in our "Nordics in Hollywood" series. Famed Swedish actress Mai Zetterling stars in this adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel of the same name. Enjoy this family-friendly (PG) cult classic produced by The Muppets creator Jim Henson. Further Nordic connections include one of the filming locations (Norway). The film will be screened behind the Museum, in our parking lot. Please bring family and friends, as well as folding chairs or something soft to serve as your seats. A food truck will be onsite for snacking during the film. We will open the parking lot for seating at 7pm, and there will be a trivia contest!
