This week we travel to Sarasota to visit the Ringling Museum, a tribute to Greatest Show on Earth…The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus!
The museum consists of the Ringling home Ca’d’Zan, the Circus Museum, The Ringling Museum of Art and the Gardens.
This is a fascinating slice of the Americana! So many memories of our childhood!
In 2006, the Circus Museum Tibbals Learning Center opened with special exhibits and its centerpiece – the 3,800 square foot Howard Bros. Circus Model, a 44,000-piece re-creation of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Circus combined shows from 1919-1938. This exhibit was the highlight of the afternoon and actually made us feel we were at the circus!
Enjoy the Video!
Next week, we will reveal our 2023 travel plans! It’s going to be an exciting summer! Don’t miss the big REVEAL!
Impressive! Although I’d want to set all the animals free!
