Back to the Carousel Museum

The same old factory building that houses the Carousel Museum also contains 2 other small museums:

OK, the Museum of Greek Culture is actually one room.

The Museum of Fire History did take up one section of the second floor and contains the personal collection of a Bristol resident.

Fortunately most of the building showcases beautiful carousel animals in the Carousel Museum.

When our guide asked if anyone knew what kind of animal this is, Malima correctly said it was a hippocampus!

There was a display showing a horse in the process of being carved.  One of the current carousel restorers also carves new animals and he is very talented.

I especially enjoyed looking at some of the more unusual animals.  This king of the beasts was quite ferocious!
