Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, New York
For the last 133 years, Coney Island has been a fabled part of New York and, in a photography exhibit entitled Goodbye Coney Island? on view until April 6th, the Brooklyn Museum offers a history of the storied resort and amusement park that takes us from the 1870s to the present. Far from the echoing screams of the Thunderbolt rollercoaster, miles from the smell of carnival food and the sight of lapping ocean waves, the intimate exhibit quietly reminds viewers of the majesty that once was, still is, and—depending on the outcome of possible redevelopment plans—may be Coney Island.
