Enter the "star trail"!

The Circus Museum

To be serious, we will say that the museum exists since 1993, on 800 m², that it presents the collection of Doctor Alain Frère, unique in Europe, and that it is a museum of the arts and traditions of the circus. Yes, but in fact...
Yes, but in fact, let's tell the truth, let's say it's two hours of dreams and glitter!

 

The wheel of death and the snake trunk...

These are some of the objects that will make you shiver or smile, with the unforgettable costumes of the Fratellini brothers, or Achille Zavatta for example, with the old posters, lions, trapezes, clowns, and red, and yellow, these posters that appeared in cities and countryside to announce the arrival of circuses, circuses of legends which you will also see the models...
Seven rooms to marvel at and applaud, to the sounds of the starry ring!
