NCMA’s Café stays open late for this special evening, serving a curated menu of entrées and cocktails inspired by the film Promare. Whether you're a die-hard anime fan or just love bold visuals and fiery storytelling, this is an experience that starts with a flavorful dinner and ends with cinematic sparks. Note: Movie tickets are sold separately—but the dinner alone is worth reserving a spot.

Museum Movie Night: The Mummy

Adventure, ancient curses, and movie trivia? Sounds like a night at the museum—but with a twist. The Mummy returns to the big screen, bringing a night of nostalgic action to the museum halls. Before the film starts, explore hands-on science stations and activities. Then, after the credits roll, test your knowledge in movie trivia and learn from a featured expert. It’s equal parts blockbuster and brainy—and just the right amount of spooky.
