The cornerstone of the Circus Museum’s Tibbals Learning Center is the world's largest miniature circus, The Howard Bros. Circus Model.
The model is a replica of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus from 1919 – 1938.
It was created over a period of more than 50-years by master model builder and philanthropist Howard Tibbals.
The second floor of the Tibbals building documents the history of the American circus from ancient times to the present.
