Event:Movies at the Museum: Miracle on 34th Street (U)

National Museum Cardiff

Amgueddfa Cymru invites you to a unique and immersive evening in the golden age of cinema! 

Our historic and decadent Reardon Smith Lecture Theatre will be transformed into a by-gone era. In the company of Kitsch & Sync Collective’s Usherettes, you’ll be guided to your seats for a feast of festive flicks, capped off with our feature presentation: the 1947 timeless classic ‘Miracle on 34th Street’. 

So, what can you expect? 

  • Be guided into our cinema by Kitsch & Sync Collective, whose fabulous usherettes' performance will entertain you pre-show as they escort you down the aisles! 
  • A truly vintage cinema offering including a short and our feature presentation. 
  • Savour your sweet tooth with popcorn, confectionery and beverages from our pop-up bar and shop. 
  • A theatre transformed: from era-defining music to imagery of the museum in its historic heyday.  

Lights, camera ready ... take your seats ... it’s action time this Christmas!
