HURRY! HURRY! HURRY!
Step Right Up!
Ladies and
Gentlemen, Children
of all ages! No
matter how you say
it, the call's out
to one and all for
the world's only
remaining true dime
museum, the Palace
of Wonders!
From its nighttime
performances by the
best and the
brightest acts from
the world of novelty
and variety
entertainment, to
its daytime museum
hall group
exhibitions, the
Palace of Wonders
recreates the
Amazing and Curious
era of the Dime
Museum - where all
the Strange, the
Bizarre, the Weird,
the Odd and the
Unusual attractions
of the World - could
be seen for just one
thin dime, the tenth
part of a dollar.
The Palace of
Wonders showcases
the history of those
exhibitions through
vaudeville and
burlesque, wax
museums, medical
show, true crime,
war shows, illusion
shows, magic
exhibitions, world's
fair midways, wild
west shows, circus,
carnival, the
classic 10-in-1
sideshows and all
the "Other"
entertainment.
At
the Palace of
Wonders you'll
relive an era when
fun was as innocent
as the practical
joke and amazing as
the satisfaction of
curiosity, an era
filled with
entertainment our
parents,
grandparents and
great grandparents
loved for all its
humbug and
hullabaloo from the
minute they walked
into the canvas
world of the
carnival or circus,
paid their money and
took their chances
at the local dime
museum.
Can't you see them
from here, it's your
friends and
neighbors!
And they're enjoying
the show right now!
Don't wait! the
show's about to
start at the Palace
of Wonders! |
