beautiful art, beautiful architecture, scenic location. More

This is a wonderful opportunity to see several things. First the history of the circus on film and then through collections. Secondly the amazing gardens at the home of the Ringling's and third the beautiful art collection at the museum and home. The home itself is another museum. All of it is done well and gives everyone something to enjoy. More

On a trip to South Florida we stopped at the John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art and what a pleasant surprise. The location was gorgeous, the art work was wonderful and the information on the circus and the history of the circus was excellent. The huge diorama (largest in the world) of a circus from Cleveland 1920 was spectacular.... More

I bring visitors here all the time. There is so much to see and do here. The Circus exhibits made by hand are exceptional. The History of the place including the circus museum, the House, the gardens, sculptures are beautiful. Also had family in the Hartford Circus Fire Many years ago. Took my brother in law and he remembered things... More

Too Bad 1929 came around or this place would be even better. More

I found out that I actually love art. lol. Beautiful paintings in an even more beautiful setting. I have been here a few times now and will return. It is located on the grounds of the Ringling Mansion and the Circus Museum is there as well. I'd suggest 2 days to see it all. More

Several sites to see at one location including the art museum, a circus museum, the mansion and lovely grounds. The art museum was okay, but the hightlight is Ca d'Zan, the Ringling mansion. We took the tour, but a self guided visit would give you most of the same information and views. The patio at the back of the house... More

Very nice museum especially if you like circuses. $25 per person is a little steep but worth the look. More

Best $10 entertainment in town! A variety of performers from country/western to blues to jazz makes this a wonderful, laid-back experience. Grab a glass of wine, sit on the mansion patio overlooking the bay, listen to the music and you can be Gatsby! More
