Join us for FREE Smithsonian Movie Nights! Throughout summer, we’ll be screening films from the Smithsonian Channel featuring awe-inspiring stories and powerful documentaries that explore history, culture, science, and the world around us.

Grab a friend, sit back, and enjoy a night at the Museum! In June, we’re featuring the film The Day We Walked on the Moon.

“Revisit the first lunar landing in gripping real-time as we highlight its most perilous and triumphant moments. On July 16, 1969, hundreds of thousands of spectators and an army of reporters gathered at Cape Kennedy to witness one of the great spectacles of the century: the launch of Apollo 11. Over the next few days, the world watched on with wonder and rapture as humankind prepared for its "one giant leap" onto the moon--and into history. Witness this incredible day, presented through stunning, remastered footage and interviews that takes you behind-the-scenes and inside the spacecraft, Mission Control, and the homes of the astronaut's families.”
