Step aside, going to redecorate an apartment with a circus theme.

An auction house is helping to sell off a museum collection of figurines that once symbolized “doing the impossible.”

“In 1920 when he started, you can imagine, people didn’t have television, they might’ve had radio. There wasn’t a lot of opportunities for entertainment, especially if you lived in a small town,” McCarthy said. “So a circus coming to town with thousands of people, exotic acts, just spectacle must’ve been game changing.”

Despite the ingenuity the circus brought at one time, that’s since changed. That’s why the Museum of Science and Industry is saying goodbye to its collection in an upcoming auction at Potter and Potter.
