Charles Ringling museum, home, and gallery

The Ringling Museun in Sarasota is great.  He made a fortune in his circus business.  His home is Venician style on the Sarasota bay.  Another building is a huge art gallery housing all the art he collected.  Two more large museums house circus items and miniature circus models.  Ringling willed the estate and gallery to the state of Florida. We started at 2pm yesterday and it closes at 5, could have used another 2 hours, don't miss it if your are in the area.

Pics, large model of typical circus set up, next 3 his home, outside art, must have been a bad girl.
