🐪 Join us for this special screening of the classic adventure film The Mummy (1999) along with another talk from historian Lukáš Kubín!
About the film:
The 1920s was the golden age of adventurers and Egypt was their promised land. In a variation on the Indiana Jones film franchise, handsome adventurer Rick (Brendan Fraser), beautiful Egyptologist Evelyn (Rachel Weisz) and her rather eccentric brother Jonathan (John Hannah) set out in search of the mystery of the lost city of Hamunaptra, the treasure of the pharaohs and the Book of the Dead.
