Studio 54 invites you to a party in the 1980s

Opened in 1977, Studio 54 continues to hold up as an emblem of late 1970s exclusivity and disco decadence.

After Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager sold the club in 1981, it still attracted crowds—though not quite the way it did during its heyday.

Instead of velvet ropes keeping people out, the club seemed to do everything they could to pack patrons in, apparently by hosting very mainstream events and giveaways.

It looks like anyone and their guest who could pay the $8-$12 gained entry.

A party for the premiere of The Search for Spock? It doesn’t sound like the movie is even part of the itinerary.

The club closed for good in 1991, long after its cache was over.

These party invites are part of the digital collection of the Museum of the City of New York.
