Theater Eden Museum

Founded in 1883 and located in the twenty-third street, between the fifth and sixth avenue with New York, the Théâtre Eden Museum was a building French Moderne of style Renaissance which placed one of the largest collections in the world of characters of wax. For 50 hundreds in 1905, the visitor could admire the large ones of this world, such as the president Roosevelt and the king Edouard VII of the United Kingdom, as well as the famous room of the horrors.

The museum also exposed unique articles, the such Automate of failures of Ajeeb which in 1885 was champion of failures to the the United States.

The tired visitor could rest and listen to music, thanks to the orchestra which occurred afternoon and evening in the concert hall.

In 1892, a cinematographic film projector, using a disc out of rotary wooden on which were fixed 20 positive glasses, returned by an opening of the scintillating images. Four years later, Georges Méliès, the magician and owner of the Theater Robert Houdin with Paris, created its series of films.

Towards the end of the Years 1890, the Theater Eden Museum became the cinematographic center of New York. Edwin Stanton To carry, called “the memory of American film”, was technician, presenter and rapporteur of films of the time.

Place of exposure of films and new technologies, the Eden Museum became a small theater where Joseph Dunninger presented until in 1913 of new magic effects of its own invention.

The theater was then transferred to Coney Island, on the point of the island of Brooklyn to New York.
