DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WATCH TONIGHT? TAKE THE MUSEUM MYSTERY MOVIE QUIZ

MUSEUM MYSTERIES

BY: MADELINE SMOLARZ

The days are getting longer, but the snow continues to fall and temperatures are still consistently below zero. Yes, spring is coming, but it remains beyond our reach. Sometimes, hunkering down with a good film, a bowl of popcorn, and a warm blanket is the only thing to do this time of the year. It was the 87th Academy Awards last night after all, so film is a hot topic at the moment. Since there’s nothing like a little suspense to make movie night more thrilling, I have put together a quick questionnaire to help you decide which museum mystery-themed film you should watch. Sit back, pretend you’re on Buzzfeed for a few minutes, and take Musings’ Museum Mystery Movie Quiz!

You too could be gobbling down popcorn while watching a great movie. On to question 1! Source.
