Lyceum Theatre (Boston)

The Lyceum Theatre was a theatre in Boston, Massachusetts located at 661-667 Washinton St at the corner of Boylston and Washington streets. It opened as the Boylston Museum (also called the New Boylston Museum) in 1875 at 667 Washington St. It operated as both a theatre and a dime museum. Its founder, George E. Lothrop, acquired the adjacent properties and greatly expanded the theatre. This expanded facility opened as the World's Museum (also called World's Theatre and the World's Museum, Menagerie and Aquarium) in 1885. In 1892 the theatre ceased being a dime museum and was renamed the Lyceum Theatre after undergoing significant alterations. It was demolished in June 1908.^[1] The Gaiety Theatre was built on the same site in 1908.^[2]
