A new exhibit at the National Building Museum traces the architectural and cultural history of these stunning places killed off by technology and urban renewal.
At the National Building Museum’s new exhibit, Flickering Treasures, Rediscovering Baltimore’s Forgotten Movie Theaters, the full architectural and cultural history of movie theaters is seen through the lens of Baltimore Sun photojournalist Amy Davis. Curated by Deborah Sorensen, Davis’s photographs (originally published in a 2017 book) are joined by related artifacts and items compiled from local collectors, museums, dumps, and the theaters themselves.
