A charming, carefully curated collection of burlesque ephemera from its heyday through today. The displays walk you through the history of the art of burlesque (probably clearing up a lot of misconceptions--it did for me!) and making clear just how varied a performance art form it is.
The new display is an assortment of recently acquired pieces, demonstrating directly that the museum continues to grow by establishing and maintaining close ties in the community to find and work with legendary performers to share their objects--and by extension, their experiences--with the world.
It's in a small space right near the entrance to Fremont St. and is totally worth a look. Admission is free, although a $5 donation is appreciated. Once you see how hard these folks work to keep it going and feel their love and passion for it, you might well want to put in more. Or even become a member!
Full disclosure: I'm one of those who has a love and passion for it. I volunteer with the Burlesque Hall of Fame.
