Circus Animals

In honor of our newly reimagined Fisher Collection Galleries (Floors 4–6), we are celebrating a different artist from those galleries each week. This week it’s Alexander Calder. 

Alexander Calder was a huge fan of the circus and made many artworks inspired by them. Make your own bendable circus animals using wire and other fun materials!
