Goodbye Coney Island?
Brooklyn Museum
November 28, 2007–April 6, 2008
Visible Storage ▪ Study Center, 5th Floor

An exhibition of more than fifty photographs from the Brooklyn Museum’s holdings, Goodbye Coney Island? traces the evolution of this fabled part of New York over the past 125 years. Coney Island has undergone many transformations since it first became a popular resort in the nineteenth century, and in the near future a prospective redevelopment plan may yet again change this section of Brooklyn.
