Dear Wade, I like your website. I run a website called the Museum of Marco Polo (www.momarcopolo.com) and will be shortly uploading a piece on a small country museum (Saffron Walden) with a connection to George Wombwell's original Travelling Menagerie. It's a not for profit site. Could I post this great poster image from Wombwell's - with full acknowledgement to you and links back to your site?

PS there were once fascinating historical connections between museums and circuses - now long forgotten.

Rachel,
Use what you need or want. Indeed, there is an incredible history of museums, circus, and zoo's. Imagine what wonder's the animal world held for a civilization without television, radio, video's, movie's etc.
