A team of British archaeologists led by Sir Joseph Whemple (Arthur Byron) discover the mummified remains of the ancient Egyptian prince Imhotep (Boris Karloff), along with the legendary scroll of Thoth. When one of the archaeologists recites the scroll aloud, Imhotep returns to life, but escapes.

Movies at the Museum: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Thursday October 28th from 7-9pm

Join us for a screening of the classic horror movie "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari."

"The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" (1920) is the most well-known film of German director Robert Wiene. The film is a strange murder mystery considered by some film critics to be the first true horror movie. The film is considered the quintessential German Expressionist film, with its strange lighting effects and dark, twisted visual style.
