Circus Krone - The Company - Naturkundemuseum Münster

Krone-Clown Jimmy in the Naturkundemuseum Münster
shortly after the opening of the exhibition: "Underway - Nomads in the Past and Today".

In the "Westphalian Museum of Natural History" in Münster is a wonderful
Circus Krone exhibition, which is open to the public. With great joy and
anticipation, members of the staff of Circus Krone visited the museum
with some exponents of the circus after receiving an invitation from the
organizers of the presentation "Modern Nomads".

In addition to the lives of well known nomads of yesteryear to include the
Tuaregs and Mongols, modern day nomads such as long distance truckers
and wandering apprentices are presented. The life of the circus is also a
nomadic life and thusly, a detailed and a sensitive depiction of the
"nomadic life of Circus Krone in picture and sound" is presented.

Originally planned for 2004, we placed uniforms, costumes, harnesses
predatory animal entrances, photos and the new Circus Krone video in
the museum. As an eye catcher, the museum added pictures of a
beautiful tiger.

As expected, the exhibition was an overwhelming success and consequently
extended to the middle of 2005. Only then will the artifacts be returned to the
Munich Circus Krone Building.

P.S.:
While Circus Krone was a guest in Münster Krone clown Jimmy embodied
the focus of the exhibition. Museum director Dr. Alfred Hendricks said at that
time: "Circus people reflect modern day nomads". Therefore, the largest
circus in Europe was specifically selected as a partner. Because all which
concerns mobility, no matter whether at that time by foot and wagon or today
by motorized vehicles circus artists and and their colleagues - remain a
nomadic people in a traveling city - THE KRONE-CITY !

The traveling tent city in Rotterdam / Holland.
