In honor of International Clown Week we are celebrating employees of The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, past and present, who have also been a part of the clown community!

Guest written by The Ringling Archives intern Joy Feagan, this post asks what role historians should play in art museums, and looks at how history impacts every aspect of The Ringling today.

Go behind the scenes with registration, conservation, and exhibition design and preparation staff at The Ringling!
