Pop Quiz Trivia: Classic Hollywood

In need of some old-fashioned Hollywood glamour? Join us at the National Portrait Gallery on Wednesday, May 30, at 6:30 p.m. for our collections-inspired adult trivia game, Pop Quiz, in the Kogod Courtyard.

This month’s theme is “Classic Hollywood.” We will test your knowledge on actors and actresses in our collection who were active during the Golden Age of Hollywood. For example, did you know that Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney, along with forty-four celebrities from the 1920s and 1930s, were parodied in a short cartoon by Tex Avery?

The Courtyard Café will be open, and snacks and beverages will be available for purchase.
