JANM presents the granddaddy of all monster movies, the original Japanese Godzilla, (a.k.a. "Gojira")!

Made at a time when Japan was still recovering from the World War II atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this remarkably human drama has spawned more than 30 remakes and sequels.   

A limited number of chairs are set up, available first-come, first-serve. Guests are welcome to bring their own chairs and blankets, but should be mindful of blocking others’ views of the screen.

Guests are encouraged to arrive early to check out  the exhibition Kaiju vs Heroes: Mark Nagata's Journey through the World of Japanese Toys before the movie. There is free museum admission from 5 - 8 p.m., with last entry at 7:30 p.m.
