Science On Screen

The Boston area is filled with academic superstars - so why not bring them to the movies? With Science On Screen, we present a feature film or documentary with a basis in science, along with exciting introductions by noted scientists in a related field.

Science on Screen programs are $9.75 regular admission, or $7.75 for seniors, students, and Museum of Science members.

Members of the Coolidge Corner Theatre get FREE admission to these shows.

The new season of Science On Screen starts in September 2009
