On 7 February, the day of the anniversary of Charles Dickens's birth in 1812, the classic film Great Expectations (1946), directed by David Lean, will be shown at the Keats-Shelley House, Piazza di Spagna 26 at 14.30 (118 mins).

The film is part of the worldwide Dickens bicentenary celebrations and is sponsored by the British Council in Italy.

The number of spaces available is limited, therefore advance bookings are strongly recommended.

The film itself is free, but people who visit the Museum on the same day will be charged the usual admission fee.
