How the Apollo Theater Shaped American Entertainment
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Harlem's Apollo Theater, NMAAHC is presenting a multi-media exhibition called Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing: How the Apollo Theater Shaped American Entertainment. Drawing on wide-ranging materials including historic photographs, costumes, musical scores, instruments and playbills, the exhibition traces the evolution of the Apollo – from its birth in 1914 as a whites-only burlesque theater to its years as a premier entertainment venue and a magnet for audiences from around the world.
