- Step Right Up to the Howard Bros. Circus Model at The Ringling. The largest miniature circus model in the world. Who built tibbals circus model? The meticulous replica of a traveling circus has been decades in the making. The Howard Bros. Circus model opened at The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art on Jan. 14, 2006. Since that time over 2.9 million ladies, gentlemen and children of all ages have been captivated by the more than 42,000-piece replica that’s the largest miniature circus model in the world. Howard Tibbals began building models of circus wagons when he was 7, and hasn’t stopped yet! For 60 years he has been working on this astounding replica and continues to add new pieces. It took Tibbals 18 years to complete the big top, from the canvas top with its three rings and four performance stages to the wagons that carried all the equipment related to the tent. To maintain the accuracy of the model, all the pieces are based on his extensive collection of vintage photographs, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, supplemented by historic posters, heralds, programs, route-cards and oral histories. Now covering 38,000 square feet, the Howard Bros. Circus shows the entire operation of the American circus at its zenith. Visitors can see the show’s arrival on 55 train cars, the parade of 154 wagons, the side shows, life on the back lot, and the main event under the big top. Tibbals built his model to be 1/16th of life size; the tallest pieces are the center poles of the big top, at 5 feet, 2 inches. Of the 42,000 figures (and counting!) the tallest is The Giant, at 6 1/8 inches. There are 925 animals, including horses, parrots, armadillos and bison. To feed such a crew, there are over 900 sets of miniature silverware and dishes, with tiny monitors installed showing actual footage of meals being prepared in the dining tent. All of the circus equipment is designed to be packed up into wagons, just like the real tented circus, moving on to the next town after just one day.

This is so cool , I remember seeing this as a child somewhere out west traveling to California and of course the real shows . Well done my friend and enjoyed listening and watching !
thank you Robert. Well there's no more circus, last show was in 2007. Animal rights issues and other things did it in. the only thing we have left is the model. It's kind of shame. Thanks for taking the time to view and comment my friend. have a good rest of the week..

This is a really cool museum! :) So much entertainment history there! We will have to visit there ourselves. Thank you for sharing! :)
Thank you for the visit.
That was another piece of a great museum. Thank you for the great tour, my friend.
Thank you sir. Your icon is so cool. I had a company with the same exact sign.👍
What can I say Great minds think alike my friend.

Wow! pretty amazing...I did not know how big they are. Thank you for sharing. Returning all favors.
Thank you very much for watching and your comment . Let’s stay in touch.
Спасибо за интересное видео!
Great video! I lived in Sarasota for many years and when I first moved there the culture of the community (Sarasota and especially Venice) were very focused on Ringling Brothers. I never saw this exhibit until your video - so thank you for sharing. Of course - today - Sarasota is very different, aside from the tremendous growth - the culture is no longer focused on Ringling and in fact - this is now a part of this community's direct past. Thank you for the great reminder of the depth and excitement this community use to have.
Hey Pat, your comment is true unfortunately, but maybe with these videos and others we can remind some people that today’s commodities, Art, development, ideas came from the past people that did give back to the community. I try very hard without offending anyone that we owe some gratitude to our past generation and should keep the good values going. All we can do is put it out there, if it touches one person we will have accomplished something. In all fairness there’s other areas in Florida that are succeeding in keeping the good traditions of the past alive as well. For now. Thank you so much for your great comment. Safe travels out there.
Amazing Museum!
🚋👌
Wow! This is something really impressive...and so beautiful!
Its a masterpiece, not enough credit is given the creator, His persistence is still vivid today making pieces for this collection.

The trapeze was always one of my favorites. If you have to
He skills to make miniatures do it, it’s a very popular thing from what I hear.

Hi John ..here to return the support ! Keep in touch my new friend ..great video by the way 😁
Thank you very much for the visit and comment. Definetly staying in touch the bell is on. See you around.
Hello...thanks for this information
Thank you for visiting my channel and the comment. Stay in touch
such a neat place
Thank you so much for your comment and watching. This place is truly great, has many things to visit. Have a great Mother’s Day.
Wow, where did he find the time to build all that and still have a successful business? It must have cost a fortune, and what is that all made of, wood? What dedication to this project he must have. Great job on the video, John.
Thanks for dropping in guys, yes he was a very passionate man to do this his whole life. I'm not sure if he ran a successful business since i did read about his other interests but this definitely made him famous and they finally made the Ringling it's final home, it's very fitting i say. You guys take care and thanks for taking the time to drop in.
Very nice video!,greetings
thank you very much for you visit and comment. i have the bell on not to forget your next video.
Nice video!!!

Thank you
I like going to museums
What a cool walkthrough! The Ringling museum looks pretty cool to explore. It's interesting to know what their history is. Thanks for showing us around and the information - we subscribed! Keep up the good work, hopefully we can mutually support! :)
Thank you very much for your comment it is an interesting display. I look forward to staying in touch.
Stopping by to support a fellow reator. Found you via James Cox livestream. #IAmACreator
thanks for dropping in Jeff, i finally got thru your actual channel I was confused with that for a while I hope to see you around in the future loved your reviews.
John C RV - Yeah I just like to keep my subscription feed on this channel movie related, but will gladly subscribe to and support other creators from my personal page. Keep in touch my friend.
I'm glad i seen you in my spam and put 2 and 2 together. I wonder if that why youtube threw you in spam> you may want to look into that. Until a few months ago i never looked in my spam. Take care and lets stay in touch .
Fantastic! I would love to see this! 1:16 scale is small! The average is 1:12, although it varies. I'll have to ask my Mom if she's familiar with it as she's a professional miniature artist. She now specializes in miniature readable books (you might need a microscope lol) and is in the top 5 internationally .😊 Lol, I've grown up with miniatures all around so these are always interesting! Especially when someone sticks so closely to proper scale and period! Great video footage and narration! Look forward to seeing more! Supporting and thumbs up!
WOW, Its like you came out of my video of "Ringling Museum of Art" it's before this video, there is a bust statue of Lucrezia Borgia the Ringlings brought back from Italy in the 20s in the museum and I felt bad not mentioning who she was since I only mentioned a few main art pieces and let the background music do the rest. Now you appear out of nowhere with the Borgia name LOL. Sorry but I have to ask if that is your real name?
On the 1/16 scale of the model its amazing what Tibbals accomplished I had heard about it before but never imagined this and I only showed a very small part, it would have taken an hour or more to show the whole set. If your Mom is a specialist in miniatures she must have heard about this., It is my understanding that Howard Tibbals is still making pieces to add to this collection. Thank you for your comment and interest and you do not have to answer if Borgia is your real name if uncomfortable doing so but i just had to tell you that story. My son even mentioned why I dint since i am Italian. You take care Lucrezia I mean Lady Borgia LOL
John C RV Isn't that something! The world works in the most interesting ways.😊 She was quite a strong and intelligent lady and it seems she found her way to speak up through her familyl!😊👍
Yes, Borgia is my real name and I am a descendant of Pope Alexander VI/ Rodrigo Borgia. No worries, I put it discreetly near the end of my 'About' in a humorous way, so it is already public knowledge.😊 (Although, I appreciate your consideration for my privacy.)
My Father was the first generation born here so we haven't been in the States a tremendous amount of time as a family and I was raised very European in many ways. I have no amazing story of how they came to the States though, as they arrived by Italian Luxury Cruise liner......even though my Aunt had hoped for something more dramatic and involving Ellis Island (it was already out of service and she was 5 yo eating rice at the Captain's table on an Italian luxery liner bc she never liked pasta lolololol😁😂😂😂😂 Its a funny story in our family as my Mother and I took her to visit Ellis Island on her request during a visit and she was upset about not remembering anything....well until my Father returned home and explained to her she had never been there.😊😂😂
It is quite an interesting family history to have (when we did a large report on our ancestors in late elementary school, I was lucky enough to have book after book on my family and interesting facts like Leonardo Da Vinci worked as a military strategist for my family.😊👍)
I also have some interesting ancestors on my paternal Grandmother's side and well kept records on my Mom's side going back 500 years.
Now I am even more interested in visiting! I will most definitely ask my Mother! She is recovering from the flu so I will wait until she's feeling a bit better.😊😊😊❤👍👍👍
I never seen this reply until now while browsing in comments. WOW, that’s quite some history. I was born there, came over when I was 10. Although my grandfather was here before WW1 and went back to join the Italian army and never came back to the states after the war. You have quite some history in your family, love to hear things like that. Your aunt not liking pasta LOL and thought she landed on Ellis Island, that’s funny because when I came over and while learning English other kids use to make fun of me and say things like “ this Guinny just came off the boat” I use to tell them I flew here by plane!!! The last thing I seen was Da Vinci statue at the Fiumicino airport in Rome.
Da Vinci was very close to your family, I read a lot on him, he was a very complicated man but that’s what made him a genius.
Thank you for your response and my apologies for not seeing this, I probably never got YT notification by email and never noticed the reply until now. Can’t wait to tell my kids I know a Borgia descendent ;) they love history like me. Have a great day.
The Lady Borgia This is easily my favorite part of the Museum. I've been there many times. There is the main museum which holds the typical paintings, sculptures, artifacts etc... There is the circus museum where you can see costumes and real train cars and Mabel Ringlin's sleeping car. On the property, you can see her rose garden and the banyon tree that was a gift from Hemingway. There is more but as I said, Tibbals is the best museum. You can spend hours and continuously see new tiny adventures. I hope you get to see it.
Wow
Hello. I already subscribed no. 1,305
thank you so much for watching and commenting and will see you around. take care.
Hello new supporter here showing u support and i hit the like button. Nice VIDEO!!
Thank you very much for the support and comment. We will stay in touch for sure.
Great timing with the recent release of the movie....just watched it on Netflix was pretty good movie....I guess Barnum and Bailey not the same as Ringling LOL
They were merged into one circus. What was the title of the movie you mentioned?
The Greatest Showman pretty decent although has lots of dancing and singing and such but was bearable from a guys perspective .... just barely :)
Hahahaha, too much musical in a movie bites me too even when the music is descent. It’s like eating bread with pasta LOL
Thanks for the info...
Great Circus John here to watch in full ( got you confused with someone else lol...) I will in the future show full attention in the future please accept my complete apology :) peace buddy and hope you have a great sunday. love the big top you showed can't believe they get all that stuff packed away again great share and again sorry :) xoxoxox ps like 16
Cheers!!!
Very cool I do hope they are cohiba cigars you have a great evening John :) ditto about the kindness in the world. I feel so much better we had a good chat and cleared the air. Have a fab night goodnight :) Rose :)
wow.. great museum.. also music is good and your narration too, full view
Very informative vlog. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video, and great job! 69
Many hours and a lot of work went into this reproduction.
I guess you can call it passion. I admire that in a person that keeps the same passion from childhood. Passion created the most beautiful things we enjoy and gives inspiration to the new generation to carry on. Call me a fool IMHO. Thanks for the visit I appreciate the comment. Have a great Memorial Day.
Wow! So cool video. Hi, I came to return the favor & I hit the red button. Left a like for the video. Watched full. Thank you for visiting my channel.
