Dear all,
This term's events programme at the Grant Museum kicks off next week with
another great classic film - Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954), hosted
as ever by the much loved Dr Joe Cain, leading science historian, film buff
and all-round good guy.
Darwin Lecture Theatre, Darwin Building, University College London, Malet
Place
Tuesday 12th October 2010, 6.30pm
A scientific expedition team is sent to search for fossils in the Amazon
basin, but get more than they bargained for when they arrive at the Black
Lagoon. Following in the footsteps of a pantheon of classic movie monsters
comes the Gill-Man: the fish-man foe from this superb Universal horror
movie. This prehistoric beast has a thirst for blood and an eye for the
ladies - slaughtering several of the team, and kidnapping Kay, the sole
female explorer and focal love interest. Featuring beautifully shot
underwater scenes, this elegantly crafted film will be introduced by Dr. Joe
Cain (UCL Science and Technology Studies). This event is free and there is
no need to book.
The Museum is closed until March while we move across the road, but our
events programme continues - all upcoming events can be found here:

The Grant Museum of Zoology is closed to the public for just under 8 months,
from June 2011. During this period, we will be unable to accommodate any
visitors to the museum or collection, although our programme of adult
evening events will continue.
We will re-open on 15th March 2011 in a new space. Up until this time, we
will endeavour to respond to all enquiries with our usual efficiency.
Regular updates on the big move, and news of the grand re-opening, will be
available on http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/zoology and the UCL Museums &
Collections Facebook page and Twitter feed.
