On Friday, July 24, 2015, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is showing the film Angels & Insects. Admission is free; tickets are required.
Here’s a synopsis of the film:
“William Adamson, a poor naturalist, returns home to Victorian England after having spent years along the Amazon River studying all kinds of animals, mainly insects. Now penniless, having lost all his possessions during a shipwreck, he manages to befriend Sir Harald Alabaster, an amateur insect collector and botanist. Sir Harald hires William to catalog his specimen collection and teach his younger children the natural sciences. Upon meeting Sir Harald’s daughter, Eugenia, love and lust bloom between the lowly William and the aristocratic heiress, resulting in a passionate and tumultuous romance full of discovery. Rated R for nudity and sexual content.”
The movie starts at 6:30 p.m.
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is located at 4525 Oak Street in Kansas City, Missouri.
