Courtyard Movie Palace: Modern Times

NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY

Courtyard Movie Palace: Modern Times Wednesday, Feb. 25, 7 p.m.  Spend an evening in the splendor of the covered Kogod Courtyard and enjoy one of the greatest comedy films ever made, written, directed, produced and starring Charlie Chaplin! In Modern Times, a masterpiece of comedy mixed with sly social commentary, a kindhearted but clumsy factory worker struggles through an industrialized society where he just doesn’t quite fit in.

Food and beverages will be available for purchase in the Courtyard Café. Jointly presented with the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
