CONEY ISLAND MUSEUM
Since 1980, Coney Island USA has told the story of why Coney
Island is important enough to one day retake its place at
the cultural center of New York. The Coney Island Museum is
at the heart of that mission. Its the only public repository
documenting the history and culture of this important neighborhood.
We fight to keep the history of this critical piece of American
popular culture from being lost to the inevitable changes
facing Coney Island today.
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.
Come
join us Thursday - Sunday, 12pm-5pm. Admission is $.99 cheap!
Our Ground Floor Giftshop is open 7 days a week.
