The Ringling Circus Museum: A Treat for All Ages
The Ringling Circus Museum is a treat for all ages. The museum is located in Sarasota, Florida, on the grounds of what once housed the winter home of the renowned Ringling Brothers Circus. The museum, first established in 1948, was the first in the country to record the rich history and splendor of the circus. It gives visitors an opportunity to view rare relics and other items affiliated with “The Greatest Show on Earth” and its relationship to Sarasota.
Many of the items on exhibit go back to the early days of the circus. Visitors will find a few modern items as well, with a forthcoming addition set to open sometime in 2012. The new addition will allow visitors a chance to be a circus performer
