The Lost Theatres of Somerville exhibit, curated by David Guss, showcases an extensive collection that highlights the rich history of the neighborhood's moviegoing experience, featuring archival photographs, posters, and even original fixtures from the city’s historic theaters. This exhibition not only delves into the architectural significance of these venues but also emphasizes their vital role in shaping community identity and social connections over nearly six decades.

These venues were not just places of entertainment; they also acted as economic anchors, supporting a variety of small, family-run businesses in their vicinity.
