About 'florida state university dance'|game preview: Florida State
The greatest show on earth didn't stop at the big top. John Ringling, circus king, and wife Mable, went on to a second act as they designed and grew their 20-acre waterfront property in Sarasota, Florida. Home to an extraordinary circus museum, grand art gallery, manicured gardens and their splendid mansion, Ca' D'Zan (house of John), the Ringlings purchased the land in 1911. What began as a winter retreat soon became home to the Ringlings. They built their Venetian Gothic mansion in 1924. Since Mable loved the Venetian style of architecture, they decided to pattern the five-story, 36,000 square foot waterfront mansion after the Doge's palace in Venice. Ringling built the museum of art to house his sizable collection of old world masterpieces, including Rubens, van Dyck, Velasquez, El Greco, and Gainesborough. He attempted to emulate Florence's Uffizi Gallery. The art museum opened in 1931, two years after Mable's death. John Ringling died five years later in 1936. The circus museum, which opened in 1948, celebrates the American circus and its history. Housed in several buildings, it showcases parade wagons, circus props, sequined costumes, the world's largest miniature circus, circus posters and movies, and the Wisconsin rail car that was home to John and Mable when they traveled around the country with the show. Ringling, along with five of his six brothers, started the famous circus in 1894. He initially performed as a song and dance man, but soon moved into overseeing the circus route. He convinced his brothers to convert from circus wagons to railroad cars in 1890. This propelled Ringling Brothers into a world-class show, and with their 100 rail cars, they crisscrossed the country each season. They purchased Barnum and Bailey in 1907, and with this acquisition, secured the top spot in circus history. Ringling left the estate, which included the mansion, the grounds, and his art collection, to the people of the State of Florida. For years after he died, the estate was mismanaged and nearly ruined by lack of necessary repairs, according to Ringling Museum pamphlets. In 2000, the governance of the historic estate was transferred from the State of Florida to Florida State University making it one of the largest museum and university complexes in the U.S. Since then, $55 million has been raised to restore the estate back to how it was while John and Mable Ringling were still alive. Four additional buildings have been built as well. Located at the end of University Parkway on Sarasota Bay, the estate and museum is open daily. |
