CEZAR DEL VALLE - THE BROOKLYN THEATRE INDEX - BOOK LAUNCH

From Downtown to Bushwick to Brighton Beach, theatres could once be found in every neighborhood of Brooklyn. Cezar Del Valle shares his unrivaled knowledge of borough showplaces in a lively illustrated lecture celebrating the launching of his Brooklyn Theatre Index. The first volume, covering theatres from Adams Street to Lorimer, has just been published.

And with rare images, he will discuss the third volume devoted exclusively to Coney Island, exploring some of the myths and explaining why the number "4" is ridiculous.

A free, autographed copy of volume one of this incredible series will be raffled off as a door prize!

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.
