“Home Alone’s traps remain masterpieces of slapstick humour [...] The real lesson here for would-be Christmas classics is that festive cheer is best counterbalanced with a healthy dose of malevolence”
DOORS: 18:30 | FILM STARTS 19:00
Step inside Bristol Museum & Art Gallery for your very own “Night at the Museum” to enjoy a truly special movie screening. Enter this magnificent space after hours, enjoy live performers and then take your seat in the Rear Hall to watch the film among the exhibits.
To get you in the Christmas spirit we’re bringing beloved festive classics to the Museum this December, including the madcap misadventure Home Alone. John Hughes’ delightfully mischievous film made a household name out of Macauley Culkin, and its wince-inducing booby trap sequences remain a staple of the festive film-watching tradition…!
About The Film
1990 | PG | 104 mins
When the McAllister family oversleep on the morning of their trip to Paris, there is a mad rush to make the flight - in the chaos, they leave behind their youngest son Kevin. At first, Kevin revels in the freedom of having the house to himself, but the sinister presence of the notorious Wet Bandits leaves Kevin defending his home against the crooks with whatever means necessary…
About The Location
Located at the top of Park Street, Bristol Museum and Art Gallery is a truly stunning space. Since opening in 1871, the Museum has been the home of a range of fascinating exhibits, including, the Bristol dinosaur, the Bristol Boxkite - which can be found in the Museum’s impressive entrance hall - and Banksy’s ‘paint-pot angel’.
The Museum is of Edwardian Baroque architecture and has been designated as a Grade II listed building. Throughout the year, Bristol Museums runs a series of temporary exhibits, events and activities, details of which can be found on their website.
