Plan a movie date with family and friends for specific Friday evenings in November and December to view "Movies at the Museum" for free at the American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge.

For "Movies at the Museum" AMSE opens at 5:30 pm for free admission and the featured movie starts at 7:00 pm in the AMSE auditorium. For links to the six movie descriptions, reviews and ratings, click on www.amse.org for guidance in age or family appropriate content.

On November 9, "The Beginning or The End," a 1947 docudrama on the Manhattan Project and creation of the atomic bomb and subsequent bombing of Japan, is the featured movie to kick-off "Movies at the Museum."

On November 16, "Jurassic Park," produced in 1993, focuses on an age-old fantasy that becomes a reality as dinosuars are genetically re-created for the ultimate theme park in this adaptation of Michael Crichton's best selling novel, Jurassic Park.

On November 30, "King Kong vs.Godzilla" (1962) a pharmaceutical company captures King Kong and brings him to Japan, where he escapes from captivity and battles a recently released Godzilla.

For three Fridays in December, these "Movies at the Museum" include Dec. 7 "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" (1953) as a result of an arctic nuclear test, a carnivorous dinosaur thaws out and starts making its way down the east coast of North America;

Dec. 14 "Godzilla" (1998) a enormous, radioactively mutated lizard runs rampant on the island of Manhattan; and Dec. 28 "Dinosaur" (2000) where an orphaned dinosaur raised by lemurs joins an arduous trek to a sanctuary after a meterorite shower destroys his family home.

The American Museum of Science and Energy, located at 300 South Tulane Avenue in Oak Ridge, is open Monday - Saturday from 9 am - 5 pm and Sunday 1 - 5 pm. For more information on AMSE memberships, exhibits, programs and events, go to www.amse.org.

The East Tennessee Historical Society and the Tennessee State Museum are pleased to announce that the Tennessee Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission’s official traveling exhibition, Common People in Uncommon Times, will be on view at the Museum of East Tennessee History through January 13, 2013.

This pictorial narrative represents a diverse array of personalities--Confederate soldiers, Union sympathizers, African-Americans, gallant women-- whose sagas illustrate a land divided. The saga of personal struggle and endurance during the Civil War is presented on 10 graphic panels taken from the State Museum’s collection of photographs and artifacts from the era, as well as from other collections across the state. Each panel portrays a different theme: Confederate leaders, Union leaders, African-Americans, civilian home front, common soldiers, war on the water, reconstruction and commemoration.

The exhibition commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Civil Will and is accompanied by a tie-in exhibit, In Death Not Divided: Civil War Tombstones and the Stories They Tell, organized by the East Tennessee Historical Society.

From bridge burners to hangings, heroes to villains, grand monuments to simple stones, In Death Not Divided: Civil War Tombstones and the Stories They Tell is an intensely personal look at East Tennessee's Civil War experience.

November 2--January 13. Monday--Friday, 9 a.m.-4p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m.-4p.m., Sunday 1-5p.m.
Museum of East Tennessee History, 601 S. Gay Street, Knoxville
