Art Opening: Menagerie: A Tribute to Animals Through Coney Island's History & Beyond

  • Freak Bar 1208 Surf Avenue Brooklyn, NY, 11224 United States (map)

Free Admission!

On display until October 31st

"Menagerie" is a group exhibit that explores the history of animal entertainers and inspirations throughout circus and sideshow history. Unfortunately, there have been many animals who lost their lives in the face of human entertainment, and the idea is to share their stories and acknowledge how far we've come in banning these practices (or perhaps, how much work still needs to be done). This show also pays tribute to the rides and architecture inspired by the animal kingdom and the common wildlife that inhabit our neighborhoods.
