Coney Mindland

There is an air of intrigue that surrounds Coney Island, even for the residents of its home borough – Brooklyn. It's aging, it's crowded, it's sordid...and it's phenomenal.

Brooklynites think of it, simultaneously, as an exotic place to spend some sunny summer days and as their own. Coney Island has history, once a mecca for tourists during the '20's and '30's, the amusement park attracted none other than Sigmund Freud on his only visit to the United States.

That singular trek by the famous psychologist, and the activities of a little known – and possibly non-existent – group of Freudian Followers called The Coney Island Amateur Psychoanalytic Society, are the subject of a new exhibit at The Coney Island Museum by media artist Zoe Beloff.

This exhibition is just off the beaten track enough to stand out and fit in. Just like Coney Island itself.

And...the museum is open on the weekends!!!
