Since 1983, the Coney Island Museum has been keeping alive the memories and magic of NYC’s favorite seaside resort for residents and visitors alike. From art to artifacts, we are dedicated to preserving and promoting the unique history of the People’s Playground, and its many contributions to American popular culture.
