CRAMP-US: CONEY ISLAND'S CHRISTMAS IN JULY

You're invited to enjoy season's beatings at Cramp-us: Aloha from Hell as part of Coney Island's Annual Christmas in July with Tigger!, The Lady Aye, Bambi the Mermaid, Bunny Love, The Flying Fox, Creamy Stevens, and Julie Atlas Muz. The evening will pay tribute to legendary Cramps frontman, Lux Interior, and keep the true spirit of the Krampus holiday alive in their hearts!

More than just a loving homage to one of rock's finest performers, Cramp-us is the season of giving! That's why in addition to the evening's burlesque/sideshow pageantry, each paid admission will be entitled to an Old World-style spanking from our own in-house, Pagan-inspired, horned, devil beast! It's our gift to you and we like to believe Lux would've wanted it that way.

CONEY ISLAND MUSEUM
The Coney Island Museum is the world's only museum dedicated to the history of this extraordinary place. Come see artifacts and images from 1829 to the present, artworks and one-of-a-kind exhibitions, and an ever-changing approach to the history of American Popular Culture.

New Exhibition - Postcards from Paradise: Writings and Images from Dreamland, Luna Park and Steeplechase Parks

Postcards from Paradise: Writings and Images from Dreamland, Luna Park and Steeplechase Parks, an exhibition of never-before seen postcards from the Coney Island Museum Collection, featuring an introduction by former first lady, Barbara Bush.  For over a century, individuals have been sending each other images and text through the mail.

Postcards are the original Instant Messages, and in the early 20th century, thousands were mailed from Coney Island each day, telling stories and painting word-pictures that were carried by the US Postal Service to destinations all over the world.  Curated by Martha Wilson and Aaron Beebe, this exhibition is not affiliated in any way with the government of the United States, the US Postal Service, or any other State-Sponsored organization or Agency. 

Thursday through Sunday, 12pm-5pm
