Presented
at The Barnum Museum
Enjoy the lively, wonderful sculptures of North Haven
Connecticut artist David Millen as the Museum features a selection of his circus
themed creations. In the words of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, "The world of reality
has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless." A celebration of
the boundless human spirit, the exhibition is a timeless combination of old and
new, classical in structure, yet elegant in simplicity and form. The
exhibit will be free during this time when the core exhibitions are closed due
to damage from the June 24 tornado, but donations of any amount are truly appreciated.
