Film Screening – Do the Right Thing
Sunday, March 19, 3 PM

The hottest day of the year explodes on screen in this vibrant look at a day in the life of the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood in Brooklyn. Produced, written and directed by Spike Lee, this powerful portrait of urban racial tensions sparked controversy but also earned popular and critical praise when it came out in 1989. This film complements Nina Chanel Abney: Royal Flush.

Free Family Day
Sunday, March 26, Noon - 4 PM

It’s magic! Explore All Matterings of Mind and get inspired to make your own magical works of art. The Duke Chemistry Society will present “The Magic of Chemistry” and magician Joshua Lozoff will dazzle all ages with his close-up magic. We will also build a cardboard city in the Great Hall!

Admission to the museum is free on Family Days.
