Upcoming Family Activities at the Princeton University Art Museum

Family Movie Night: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, - January 13, 2011

Join us for an evening of adventure and mystery.  Beginning at 6:00pm we‘ll have sandwiches, cookies and a museum adventure.  If Claudia and Jamie had chosen our museum for their home away from home, where would they have hidden their belongings, what mysteries would they have encountered?  At 7:00pm, we’ll sit back and relax as we watch From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, the 1995 movie starring Lauren Bacall.   Free and open to the public, no tickets or reservations needed.
