The exhibition presented elements of circus design through posters, pop culture and costume. Different viewpoints on the subject were uncovered through thematic exploration including Politics; Women in Circus, Equality and Inclusivity. The impact of circus on pop culture was highlighted through film, literature and music. Static exhibits were complemented by an ongoing programme of live aerial acts with star attraction pieces by performers in residence, Claire Crook aka Madam Mango and Rio Willett.
