Welcome
This website was designed, as a library, with the Ringling
Museum Docents in mind, but is of interest to all. It describes in detail the
main features of the various venues. This library mainly consists of docent research, some
Ringling Museum study materials and publications, articles from the Sarasota County
History Center and area newspapers.
This website is not part of the The John and Mable Ringling Museum /
FSU organization, but a private development created and maintained by Willem van Osnabrugge, docent at the
Ringling Museum.
You may contribute appropriate articles for credited publication on
this portal.
