We may not be able to gather on Art Hill this year, but we can still come together virtually for fantastic movie nights courtesy of the Saint Louis Art Museum. Join in on Fridays in July for the Saint Louis Art Museum At Home Film Series. The series kicks off each week with a pre-movie watch party featuring art chats, cocktail-making demonstrations, movie trivia and more. The line up changes weekly.
The adventuous heroes in this year's four films will transport you around the world and even across dimensions - all from the comfort of your couch. The films will be available to stream online for a low or no cost and are subject to change.
This year's films are:
July 10: Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse
July 17: Crazy Rich Asians
July 24: Men in Black
July 31: Princess Bride
The party starts at 8:30 p.m. each Friday with a 9 p.m. showtime.
