Between horse training, clowning, and acrobatics

The exhibition traces how Jewish circus families traveled from town to town with wagons, tents, animals, and show attractions since the early 19th century. Horse training, magic, clowning, and acrobatics shaped the program of those traveling performers, who regularly performed in Fürth and often set up their tents in Königsplatz. The short tour brings this history close to today's audience mood.
