Ringling, The - Kid and Family Programs

The Ringling has been committed to nurturing meaningful educational involvement in the arts. You can take a gander through The Museum of Art. Here, in an extraordinary place is an extraordinary collection of art. From the Rubens Galleries to the Turrell Skyspace, view the permanent collection’s treasures, the fascinating exhibitions from around the world and the classical sculptures that fill the grand courtyard.

Step right up...into the Circus Museum. Walk the wire. Squeeze into a clown car. Snap photos with a ferocious (faux) tiger. Thrill to it all: the parade wagons, the posters, the glittering costumes, and the cannon that shot daring performers through the air. Wonder at the must-be-seen-to-be-believed 44,000-piece Howard Bros. Circus Model and the Greatest Show on Earth Mural celebrating the entertainment that has delighted packed houses in great cities and small towns across America for generations.

Take a tour of Ca' d'Zan, the Ringling's 56-room mansion on Sarasota Bay stands as a testament to the American Dream of the Roaring Twenties.
