One of Brooklyn’s most historic roller skating rinks has a new exhibit in its honor in Williamsburg.

Empire Skate: The Birthplace of Roller Disco, an exhibit that opened in May at the City Reliquary celebrates the legendary Crown Heights’ Empire Roller Skating Center by “exploring its role as a national icon and a focal point of the African-American community in Brooklyn.”

Before closing in 2007, Empire Roller Skating Rink was a staple in Brooklyn since 1947. This exhibit highlights the once popular landmark with, photographs, vintage video footage, and artifacts including a roller skate worn in the 2005 film Roll Bounce from Brooklyn’s Five Stride Skate—the borough’s only shop focused on roller skates—and clothing worn by skating groups who performed their dance routines at Empire, according to Brooklyn Daily. The exhibit offers a total immersive experience of the sights and sounds of the people who skated at Empire during the 70s and 80s.
