Yesterday's Main Street Cinema Nickelodeon

Viewing: Photo | Street View

In the Museum of Science and Industry, located on Yesterday’s Main Street is a reconstructed nickelodeon that shows complete silent movies. You can sit there all day and watch old silent movies if you want. They use to charge 5 cents to watch a movie. Now its free with admission to the museum. The theater has been in the museum for as long as the museum been there.

The last couple times I was there, most recently last year, the nickelodeon was showing black and white silent cartoons, accompanied by a player piano. It’s usually totally empty (along with the rest of Yesterday’s Main Street) when I go there.
