The 'Saturday Night Fever' Dancefloor Is Going Up for Auction

It could sell for up to $1.5 million in California later this month.

The light-up red, blue, and yellow dancefloor that helped make John Travolta a movie star in Saturday Night Fever will be auctioned off this month in Los Angeles. The famous piece of plexiglas memorabilia is in the catalog for the Profiles in History Hollywood Auction taking place from June 26–28, and is expected to go for up to $1.5 million, reports Reuters.

The dancefloor was originally custom-built for the 1977 film and installed in the Brooklyn club 2001 Odyssey, where Saturday Night Fever is largely set. When the club closed in 2005, NYC concert promoter Vito Bruno bought it at an auction of all the club's contents, but was only able to officially claim it after a subsequent legal battle with 2001 Odyssey's owner.

"I have had the dance floor for a few years now. It's one of the most recognizable pieces of film memorabilia in history, but I've decided it's time to share it with the world," said Bruno in an interview with Reuters.

Bruno got his start in the music industry working as a doorman at 2001 Odyssey during the disco era.

Last year, Brooklyn promoters RINSED organized a three-week pop-up club in Brooklyn reimagining 2001 Odyssey.
