Postcard from the Coney Island Museum collection

At the end of the 19th Century, Coney Island was the pinnacle of an astonishing era of live attractions – pre-cinematic spectacles that brought millions of people to the shores of the Atlantic to see things that were completely unique in their experience. The Great Coney Island Spectacularium will be a live exhibition and experience exploring that momentous age, bringing you sites, sounds, and immersive experiences that can’t be seen anywhere else on earth.

The exhibition will launch on Friday, April 8th, 2011 at the Coney Island Museum. You can find out more by visiting the exhibition page on this website.
