At the Ringling Circus Museum (next door to the Ca D Zan mansion) there are 2 buildings. VAST buildings. One contains circus memorabilia, such as costumes, wagons, railcars and posters. The other museum is filled with a minature circus.

Ok, so some of you may be thinking "Madsnapper is a few clowns short of a circus"
so here is the Clown Car..... sorry No Clowns. Just ME!
'Did you hear about the dog who went to a flea circus?'
'No, what happened?'
'He stole the show
Above is Punch and Judy stage. All of these were used to move the Circus by train, and from train into town.

I love these old circus wagons. The decorated details are lovely. Back in the days, it must have been neat to see the circus roll into town. Happy Saturday!
This circus museum will definitely be a place we stop and visit on our southern road trip, which keeps getting delayed😕 but perhaps next spring. I always enjoy the shots you post from your visits there, Sandra. The one liners were fun today as well. Thanks for the smiles, as always.
Interesting old circus wagons. I'm not really a circus person so most of these aren't familiar to me. Have a super weekend!
Such wonderful photos and I loved the video!
Ah, the good old days - I haven't been to a circus in many years. Thanks for this colorful post!
never been to the circus. i have trouble with anyone carting animals all over the country. as a kid i'd have wanted to go. these days, no. :)
Very nice
They allow cameras . That is cool!
Nice takes Sandra.
Ohhhh we always forget that the circus' home is near year. What gorgeous equipment Punch and Judy stage is beautifully designed
Hugs madi and Mom
awesome series of photos, sandra!
...and i second tex's comment. however, it would be unfair to say zoos do not have any purpose in the society...oh, well.
happy weekend!

I would have loved to go to the circus when I was a child...I would like to visit this place now.
Worth repeating :)
there's beautiful detail in everything! the lighting really makes the colors pop!
Amazing pieces.
We are so far out circuses seldom come here.
Beautiful old circus wagons!
Totally awesome. What a fun place to visit. Being a human cannonball is the only thing you can get fired from multiple times and still have a job
I would like to visit the museum again. Enjoyed your photos.
I'm not a fan of circuses, but I like your pics. Had to lol at the joke about the human cannonball.
How wonderful that the circus wagons have been preserved!
Even the circus has had an evolution. Awesome pics.
Super cool! You find the neatest things to share. I love the Circus.
