Clowns Gallery-Museum
The Clowns Gallery-Museum is a museum of clowning situated at venues in Holy Trinity Church, Dalston and Wookey Hole, Somerset. Established in 1959, the collection contains costumes and props from famous clowns, as well as a reference library,[1] and is home to the Clown Egg Register, an archive of painted ceramic and hen's eggs which serve as a record of individual clowns' personal make-up designs. The collection is split between the museum's two sites.[2]
The museum was established in 1959 in Dalston and the collection was split to a venue in Wookey Hole in 2007. The Dalston museum is situated in what was the vestry of the Holy Trinity Church.[3] It was threatened with closure in 2014, but remained in place.[4] The Wookey Hole museum is run by Gerry Cottle, Vice President of Clowns International.[1]
