Coney Island Museum
Description
Step back in time and experience the thrills and wonder of Coney Island. From antique carousel horses to vintage hand-painted signs, and recovered architectural elements to antique photos and memorabilia, the Coney Island Museum celebrates the ingenuity, tenacity, and inclusiveness that has defined the birthplace of American popular culture for more than a century. Check out their collection of mid-century funhouse mirrors (great for selfies) or sit back and watch old-time black-and-white reels. In addition to the permanent collection, the Museum also hosts special exhibitions and lectures on Coney Island's history and impact, and its archives are available as a critical resource to researching scholars. The history, nostalgia, and fun of the People’s Playground is always on exhibit at the Coney Island Museum.
