I attended this event- was lots of fun!

The Library of Congress hosted a Pop-Up Exhibition for Halloween highlighting Halloween and Dia de los Muertos themed works from their collection. They also projected scenes from classics horror movies, Nosferatu, The Red Death, and Phantom of the Opera. Spent time in the Grand Hall directing visitors to the exhibition, and there was a Halloween theme photo-op area for visitors- many requested a photo with the Jedi.

The Capitol Police Officers greatly enjoyed seeing a light saber go through the X-Ray machine!
