GAINESVILLE, Fla. --- Learn whether or not anacondas really do devour humans as Florida Museum of Natural History herpetologist Kenney Krysko reviews 'Anaconda' beginning at 7 p.m. Jan. 19. Following the review, Florida Museum visitors are invited to view this PG-13-rated horror film.
The new science movie night program is being held during Museum Nights, a collaboration between University of Florida Student Government, the Florida Museum of Natural History and the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art in which both museums are open from 5-10 p.m. on Thursday evenings.
Funded by UF Student Government, Museum Nights strives to increase student and community visitation at the UF Cultural Plaza, located near the intersection of Southwest 34th Street and Hull Road. It serves as an entertainment alternative for Thursday nights in Gainesville and provides individuals who are too busy during the day the opportunity to visit the museums in the evening. For more information and a complete schedule, see www.sg.ufl.edu or call (352) 392-1665, ext. 415.
