Through April, the Tuttleman IMAX Theater at the Franklin Institute is showing a 45-minute film on the beauty and history of America's National Parks. The movie gives audience members wide, sweeping views of the nation's natural wonders while Academy Award-winner Robert Redford narrates throughout.

It's a fitting time for the movie screening in Philly. The PHS Philadelphia Flower Show, which opens March 5, picked National Parks as the 2016 theme.

In general, this is the year to discover more about the National Parks Service. The program will turn 100 on Aug. 25.
