The Menagerie
Posted By thecircusblog on March 11, 2009
This is an inside shot of Ringling Bros Barnum & Baily Circus menagerie. Their menagerie tent was just as big as some of the circus tents I have seen. This photo was taken sometime in the 1930’s. Notice the animal keepers in the forefront. The only time I saw the Ringling menagerie was in LA when I visited the show in 1969. I wish I could have seen it in the tent, but the menagerie was in the basement of the coliseum.
