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. Now through February 27, 2011.
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
Museum Admission 99 cents!
