Under the Big Top January 10, 2010

With its color, daring and explosive fun, the circus has always been a theme that intrigues and inspires artists. In Under the Big Top, NCMA’s The Children’s Museum presents reproductions of circus art by Seurat, Léger, Prendergast, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Chagall and others, displaying them alongside displays that will guide the museum’s young visitors through explorations of circus skills, endangered animals and memory games using circus characters and activities. The Clown College station includes wall panels that will assist children to master the skills involved in pantomime, juggling and creating a clownish costume
