About Circus World Museum
Circus World Museum collects, preserves and interprets archival material and artifacts relating to the history of the American circus. In addition to the circus museum, it maintains and operates a circus library and research center. Through its exhibits and educational outreach programs, Circus World Museum strives to encourage an appreciation of the historic role of the circus in American life, including the presentation of live circus performances during the summer season. The summer season includes a full range of family entertainment including stage shows, circus music demonstrations, train loading demonstrations, clown acts, animal and carousel rides, and educational animal training demonstrations. During the fall and winter seasons, exhibit facilities are open for self-guided tours. A variety of seasonal programs change as the seasons do.
The W. W. Deppe Wagon Pavilion exhibits include 50 beautifully restored circus wagons, a circus train exhibit, and an exhibit titled From Horse Power to Horsepower. In the Irvin Feld Exhibit Hall and Visitor Center, exhibits include The Story of the Ringling Brothers, A Century of Spectacle, Trumpets of Paper, and a big-screen video about the Ringling Brothers. A miniature circus, a clown exhibit and a host of other small exhibits can be found in the nearby Ring Barn.
In the C. P. Fox Wagon Restoration Center, visitors can view antique circus wagons awaiting restoration and watch as skilled craftsmen re-create the splendor of historic circus wagons.
