Now it has expanded to include props, costumes and a plethora of clown related items plus a literary Archive.It has been described as "a jewel box" and "the next best thing to visiting the circus". A prime exhibit is the famous collection of painted eggs which record the facial make up of hundreds of clowns thus registering the designs in Britain.
