The Ringling Museum, in Sarasota, FL., has 3 great museums. One is the art museum, which opens with a spectacular Rubens that will blow your mind. The second is a "history of the circus" museum, which is informative and well done (including a huge miniature version of the RBB&B Circus). And the 3rd is a display of actual circus equipment from across the ages. All in a lovely setting. Highly recommended. Interestingly, the museum is actually run by the arts department at Florida State, although they are now working conjointly with art classes at the first-class Ringling College of Art & Design Sarasota. If you spend your money going to these museums (one admission price) you will not be a sucker. <s>

>>How disappointing.

>>Did you see the list of "new commands"? What a joke. Oh, and I love the part where it says the "Lite" version is a "free download" yet on the "Purchase" page, there is only "Basic" and "Full" - $65 and $199 respectively!

>>If anyone actually buys this, they'll just prove that P.T. Barnum was correct. (For those who don't know what I'm referring to, he was quoted as saying, "There's a sucker born every minute” :)

>I grew up 16 miles from the home of the Ringling Brothers Circus - Baraboo, Wisc. The Ringling Brothers started there back in the late 1800s. They later joined up with Barnum and Bailey (they bought Barnum and Bailey). Until 1918 or so it was the winter home of the circus. If you've ever been to the Circus World Museum, there really is a sucker born every minute :o)
