Watch a free screening under the stars on our front lawn.
The Chicago Park District's Movies in the Parks returns this summer to present free outdoor screenings on our front lawn. There’s no better way to spend a fun summer night than watching a favorite movie outdoors. You'll enjoy the evening, framed by our historic building and beautiful Lake Michigan. Pack your picnic or lawn games, and come early to snag the best seats on the lawn. Parking in the Museum garage is free for Movies in the Parks attendees.
See below for films and dates. The Museum closes at 5:30 p.m. on these event dates (except for 007 Science Evenings) and is not open during the screenings.
