A Royal Exhibit
Just ahead of what would have been her 60th birthday in July and the 25th anniversary of her tragic death in August, a new exhibit about the life of Princess Diana is opening in Tysons Corner Center. Princess Diana: Accredited Access Exhibition is an immersive audiovisual journey through the iconic royal’s life, and features the work of her official royal photographer and friend, Anwar Hussein. The exhibit, which has traveled to Los Angeles and Chicago, opens in Tysons on May 25. —Amy Ayres, editor
Movie Time
Sure, everyone will probably be celebrating Memorial Day Weekend by the pool, but my big plans are centered around heading to the movie theater. I’ve been waiting for months for The Bob’s Burgers Movie to hit the big screen. I already have tickets for an opening day showing at the Alamo Drafthouse Theater in Ashburn, so my holiday plans are all set. —Michele Kettner, associate digital & research editor
Facing the Past
The Freedom House in Alexandria is finally reopening this Friday, May 27. It’s one of the most important museums in the region, giving visitors an honest examination of the city’s origins as a major hub of the slave trade. —James Finley, senior editor
