As part of UF’s Creative B summer program, the Florida Museum of Natural History will start a series of free movies and panel discussions this weekend.
The series will start Friday at 6 p.m. with a meet-and-greet featuring artist Nobuho Nagasawa, followed by a discussion and the movie “Mothra,” according to a press release.
Elizabeth Brown, a marketing and public relations assistant for the museum, said exhibits will stay open until 7 p.m. on movie nights.
Tiffany Ireland, an educator at the museum, said the topics will focus on the balance between art and science.
“It’s a really great program to go to if you like movies and you like science and you like fiction,” she said.
Tim Lawrence, a special effects artist who worked on movies such as “Ghostbusters” and “Jurassic Park,” Ian Breheny, a museum designer and cult movie aficionado, and Terry Harpold, a UF associate professor of English and film and media studies, will lead the panels, according to the release.
Stacey Steinberg, a UF law professor, said her photography is currently featured in the Harn museum’s Shared Hope — Art and Healing exhibit.
“Creative B gives students, faculty and staff, as well as community members, an opportunity to engage in the arts during the summer months,” she said.
