Detour: The Landscape of Travel on Film
In this three-week series inspired by the exhibition Detour, Ann Hornaday, Washington Post film critic, and Deborah Sorensen, curatorial associate at the Museum, introduce films featuring unexpected and powerful encounters with the natural world. The series continues on February 11. The Museum encourages you to bring food, beverages (sorry, no alcohol) and your own comfortable chair (if you don't want to use one of ours) or blanket to enjoy the film in the splendor of the Great Hall.
