The National Gallery Nights lottery will open on Monday, October 2, as planned and will close on Thursday, October 5, at noon. If we’re able to host National Gallery Nights on October 12 or on a rescheduled date, we will draw from this lottery for free registration.  

Outdoor activities on the 4th Street Plaza are open to all, but registration is required to enter the East Building.

DJ 2-Tone will present a live, remixed soundtrack to Ivan Reitman’s Ghostbusters (1984)]

We’re your ghost hosts for one night of artsy haunts. Descend on our 4th Street Plaza for a screening of Ghostbusters (1984) with a live, remixed soundtrack by DJ 2-Tone, part of SHAOLIN JAZZ’s Can I Kick It? series. Enter the East Building if you dare to share your best Monster Mash on the dance floor with DJ Valentina. Level up your costume with custom face painting or a DIY mask station. Plus, hear bone-chilling art stories from museum staff and local experts.
