The Ringling is home to one of the preeminent art and cultural collections in the United States. Its story begins nearly a century ago, with the circus impresario, John Ringling and his beloved wife’s shared love for Sarasota, Italy, and art.

The Ringling is one of the preeminent arts institutions in the United States. Its unusually diverse collections—art, circus, history, architecture, performance, gardens—reflect its unique origin story. At the heart of that story is circus impresario John Ringling and his wife Mable, and their shared desire to make Sarasota a world-class destination.

The Tibbals Learning Center, made possible by the generosity of Howard and Janice Tibbals, is full of unexpected delights and hands-on learning opportunities.  Visitors to the space can immerse themselves in the circus—past and present—through a variety of engaging activities, installations, and exhibitions.
