- The Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum’s (PMPM) new exhibition, “The Great Provincetown Summer - 1916,” is an immersion into the year 1916, a pivotal time in the town’s history, when Provincetown was put on the map as the largest and most influential art colony in the world and the birthplace of the modern American theater. It was a year when bohemians, radicals and free thinkers joined writers, artists and others who came together in the tiny town at the tip of Cape Cod. Provincetown was, and continues to be, a haven for artistic freedom and expression and has led to the town’s rightful designation as “the world’s longest continuous art colony.” The exhibition is currently on display at the PMPM throughout the 2016 season.

Wow, where did you find this footage?
Is there no sound to this video?
No. It was filmed before sound.
It’s kind of a freak show in summer.
