Lovely images!

(but also an interesting interface. The initial screen was a little weird but I loved the ability to zoom in on each picture.)

Somehow, I think the whole clown concept has evolved since the 1907 slightly mean looking version.

Great find! I especially love the section on magicians, hypnotists, etc. Thanks, crunchland.

Really great site. Usually I wince at Flash-driven sites, but this one is cool and a terrific find - thank you.

When I right-clicked a picture it asked me "allow www.circusmuseum.nl to access your camera and microphone?" They need more freaks?
