Circus Building, Museum building at Shelburne Museum, US.
The Circus Building holds a collection of 500 circus posters, carousel animals, and detailed miniature circus displays within its horseshoe-shaped structure.
Built in 1965, the Circus Building was designed to house the 500-foot-long Roy Arnold miniature circus, which took thirty years to complete.
The structure preserves and displays artifacts from the Golden Age of American traveling circuses, including items from regional canal boat performances.
The building features wide pathways that guide visitors through exhibits of circus memorabilia, carousel figures, and folk art collections.
Three intricate carved miniature circuses reside in the building, including Edgar Kirk's creation, which he crafted over 46 years using scrap lumber.
