About The Museum of Extraordinary Things
In early twentieth-century New York, Coralie Sardie performs as a “human mermaid” at her father’s Coney Island attraction, while Eddie Cohen wanders the city with his camera. A disappearance tied to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire draws their worlds together in a story of spectacle, mystery, and reinvention.
