You may say you’re a dreamer, but you’re not the only one. See for yourself at the Portrait Gallery’s Pop Quiz trivia night on Thursday, April 28, at 6:30 p.m. Test your knowledge on the movers and shakers of American history, told through the Portrait Gallery’s collection.

Pop Quiz takes place once a month in the Robert and Arlene Kogod Courtyard and can be played individually or in a team of up to six people. (You can earn a bonus point or two if you come up with a particularly clever team name.) The team with the highest score will take home a special prize, along with bragging rights. The Courtyard Café will be open during Pop Quiz for participants to purchase snacks and drinks.

Get a sneak peek by taking a look at this month’s bonus question, worth ten points:

The famous lyric “You may say I’m a dreamer” from John Lennon’s hit song Imagine (1971), made a significant impact on American culture. Despite Lennon being British-born, Lennon spent much of his time in New York City. What is the name of his memorial in NYC?
