Nov. 29th.... The Art Museum.... Contains over 500 million dollars worth of paintings alone. John Ringling began collecting Ruebens prior to anyone showing interest in them. Most of his collections were purchased while travelling in Europe including the contents of his mansion.
Although it's hard to tell in these two photos these are three dimensional
The following pictures show part of the Ruebens collection. The large ones are 5 of the original 11. Two are near Paris and the rest have been destroyed in fires. They were prototypes for tapestries which would appear as a complete opposites when completed. You can get some idea of their true size in the picture with Gerry standing in front.

This is a huge Banyon Tree outside the Ringling mansion. It originally came from the Thomas Edison home which was about 35 miles south of the mansion
