Exhibition: Great Art on Screen: Munch: Munch 150

Park Place Stadium 16

Pinellas Park : 7200 U.S. 19 North, Pinellas Park, 33781

Art historian Tim Marlow hosts this event that brings some of the world's greatest art exhibitions to the screens at select area cinemas. This event is also being held at Regency 20 in Brandon and Woodland Square 20 in Oldsmar.

Many know Munch as the man who painted The Scream, but his complete works are remarkable and secure his place as one of the greatest artists to have ever lived. The film goes behind-the-scenes to show some of the process of putting the exhibition together -- as well as gives a tour of Norway to provide an in-depth biography of a man who lived from the mid-19th century right through to the German occupation of Norway in World War II.

Price: $12.50.

The program will suit the wide audience who adore Vermeer's work and who want both to see it in detail and to learn more about this mysterious, fascinating man.
