Circusland Info and Reviews

Fantastic experience: We loved the museum. Everything is well taken care of! The people who run it are very nice and happy to explain all the history of the institution. They have a great archive with which they are expanding their collection. It is definitely worth going in to see it!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I was eager to visit this place and it was rewarding that the guy at the entrance offered to take care of our dog so we could enter, very nice to visit and excellent service
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Unique Circus Museum in the world. Recommended and worth visiting to get to know the world of Circus a little better. The various floors and rooms showcase objects (stamps, posters, models, costumes,...) that will bring us closer to this world.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Circusland, located in Besalú, is a unique museum in Europe dedicated to the art and history of the circus. It has an impressive collection of costumes, objects, photographs, and even the largest miniature circus model in the world. Ideal for all ages, it offers a culturally and visually fascinating experience in a historical setting. Perfect for circus lovers or curious individuals wanting to discover its magic.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very cool rabbit hole of a museum for circus and history enthusiasts. Decent collection of items to display and clear explanation.

Fantastic experience: See 250 years of the Circus through a reference archive in Besalú. It is one of the largest circus collections in the world, where tens of thousands of pieces review 250 years of circus history: such as engravings, costumes, posters, photographs, stamps, postcards, artist materials, autographs, books… Among the treasures of this collection, the largest miniature circus in the world stands out (a scale model of the great German circus Gleich). The large format poster archive from the early 20th century by lithographer Fernández-Ardavín, and the largest collection of circus-themed philately, the three hundred antique engravings, the library of more than four thousand titles, the costumes of famous artists, the press archive of Ramon Cardona, or the complete archives of renowned photographers such as Álvaro Villar, Josep Vinyes, or Alberto Oller. A wonderful exhibition that will immerse you in the fantastic Circus across the different floors of the Palace. Highly recommended at %
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Very nice museum to discover the world of circus. The miniature circus is impressive. Normal entry is €6.90. Short visit. If you are passing through Besalú, don't hesitate to stop for a moment.
Translated from French

Positive experience: Very curious to see. Very complete and the model is very spectacular.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: The model they have is the most notable since aside from being very large, it is very well made and has many details. Everything else, costumes and posters, and if you want to understand everything you have to force yourself to read, and that is not what a child would prefer. They can do it at specific moments, but to understand everything presented or the history of what is there, they would get bored reading it all. Though when you go to places like this it is the most normal, if there was an audio guide it would all be better. The price for the time you spend should be a bit more economical. The museum is not bad, but it’s also not great. If you are in Besalú and don’t go, it’s not like you’ll miss something that you later say 'wow, I should have gone'.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Pleasantly surprised by the amount, the variety, the organization (themes), the quality of the pieces, beautiful drawings, etc. Truly worth it. Learned a lot about the history and origin of the circus. And according to the staff, after the expansion it will be the largest indoor exhibition in the world. Thank you! Martina

Translated from Deutsch

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. A beautiful and unknown museum where they gather authentic treasures, from 900 circus-themed stamps to costumes and posters over 100 years old that it's a miracle they have been preserved, in an age where everything is thrown away. Impressive the model of a circus (the largest in the world) that occupies an entire room. Congratulations to those who make it possible.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Great. A truly amazing museum. I think we will come back and then we will do it with a guided and complete tour. It will be worth it. Thank you very much and congratulations on a great, great project.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Circusland… A museum that surprised me because it transports you to another time, suddenly you enter the magical world of the circus in those years of innocence when artists were legends and their abilities were extraordinary. For children, it is a great discovery, they ask how they did this or that, you see the history of the circus, its way of life, a unique and wonderful culture, the entrance staff is wonderful, they explain to you what you will find in its three floors of magic and fantasy.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I believe there have been few museums dedicated to the circus in the world. It was very interesting and quite curious at the same time as illustrative. I saw it very well cared for in design and order. The model was impressive with all kinds of details. The only downside is that the little signs with some descriptions were poorly lit and the letters quite small, yet it deserves five stars for the work and collection of the entire museum.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The entire exhibition is very beautiful
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Three floors full of history that perhaps today's children do not understand but that for those of us who are of a certain age feels endearing and makes us children again. Well cared for and very well distributed, the walk takes you through all the eras and all the professions you could find under a tent; clowns, jugglers, trapeze artists, animals, magic... It features a model of the Gleich circus, which is the largest in the world, and a selection of incredible costumes and outfits. Without a doubt, a gem worth visiting if you go to Besalú.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: It was a must stop on an excursion, I wasn't really eager to go in but.... I was pleasantly surprised. Upon entering, they give you an explanation and then you follow a path. It is very beautiful to see, really.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A charming little museum to visit as a family. Posters, costumes, photos, models, ... to immerse yourself in the world and history of the circus.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: International circus museum, a large number of items related to the circus, from various collections, costumes, posters, models, well set up. Highly recommend visiting if you are in Besalú.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Beautiful circus museum, a bit pricey for 4, they could offer a family rate. It would be nice to have some beautiful videos with historical images. The model is spectacular!!!
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Interesting museum, but a bit disappointed. The knife throwing promised on the poster is not possible. There wasn't even a knife to just pretend and take a picture. There is a toilet that acts a little bit like an optical illusion, but my friends didn't experience the illusion.

Positive experience: Small circus museum with an impressive collection of posters and stamps. We spent about 40 minutes looking for Nikulin and Karandash. A bit expensive.
Translated from Russian

Fantastic experience: Great discovery at the circus museum. The price is fair (€6.90). Low season, we are alone in the museum. The posters, the decor, and the music are great.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: On vacation in Besalú, the visit to Circusland is a must, a magnificent museum that recounts the history of the circus, lots of models, costumes, and plenty of other things, a must-see.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: A surprise from Besalú that we didn't know about yet. It's a museum dedicated to the circus: a giant model, costumes, posters... it took us to another century. The museum staff were very friendly: we went with our dog, who can't enter, and they took care of him at the reception during the entire visit. We liked it a lot!!!☺️
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: One of the coolest museums I know... This was our second visit and next year we hope to go again because more will be added to the collection. Very beautiful pieces and incredibly well decorated. Truly nostalgic! Highly recommended (for kids) if you can appreciate it. The museum shop is also very extensive and fun.

Fantastic experience: A really cool museum where you take a journey through the history of the circus, very moving both for the displayed pieces that recall childhood and for the huge model of a circus and the collection of stamps from different eras and countries related to the circus
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A place that collects curious aspects related to the circus world. Lots of circus posters. The best part is the model with many figures and details. I perhaps expected something more dynamic or fun, but it's good.

Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: From the beginning, 'the guy at the reception with a ponytail' (sorry, we don’t know your name) treated us with so much kindness, showing a lot of passion for the place. The exhibition is truly amazing, incredible. Everything on display is original, with very valuable elements very well preserved. It's definitely worth it. Super recommended, and also cheap (for less than 7 euros). Additionally, once the exhibition closes, they open a very cute cocktail bar on the museum terrace called 'Formidable'. LONG LIVE THE CIRCUS!

Positive experience: A great model. Large collection of posters and costumes. But it lacks movement... Automata and videos would have been welcome.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Exceptional place for circus lovers
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A very interesting museum. Great variety of objects. About 2 hours of reading and viewing objects. The best part is the model.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Interesting, but there is something missing to attract more people's attention, and maybe an elephant behind, or a smaller replica in front, and 1 euro less for entry.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: I had the opportunity to visit the Circus Museum in the town of Besalú and it was an amazing experience. The museum houses one of the largest circus collections in the world, with thousands of pieces that review the 250 years of history of this spectacle. Among the highlights of the collection is the largest miniature circus in the world, a scale model of the great German circus Gleich built by Dutch engineer V. Herwerden. This model shows us how a large traveling circus operated in the early 20th century with approximately 420 characters, 270 animals, and 170 vehicles, all arranged in an area of about 50 square meters. Another attraction of the museum is the largest collection of circus-themed philately, with over 900 stamps from 115 countries, located at the entrance of the museum. In addition, the museum preserves the archives of three great photographers: Josep Vinyes i Sabatés, Alberto Oller Garriga, and Álvaro Castellano 'Villar', whose sets total more than 40,000 negatives dated between 1940 and 1970, which, on the day of our visit, were not available for viewing. In the costume section, there are dresses of famous artists such as trapeze artist Miss Mara, juggler Pepito Álvarez, and tamers Mary Chipperfields or Paulina Schumann, as well as a series of 27 dresses for the clown 'carablanca' made by the historic high fashion tailoring for the Maison Vicaire show in Paris. Finally, I highlight the 19th-century French porcelain collection that illustrates great artists of the era such as the amazon Léjears, clown Auriol, elephant Baba, or deer Coco. In summary, the Circus Museum is a must-visit for any circus lover and its history, with a variety of impressive pieces that leave visitors astonished. Highly recommend if you like this theme.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Today, January 8th, I visited the museum and really enjoyed it, especially the signs and the circus model. If I don't give it more stars, it's because it was extremely cold inside, it felt like I was inside a refrigerator, especially in the first rooms where, even though I was wearing a parka, I felt quite cold.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Magnificent museum! Very beautiful scenography. A beautiful discovery. Bravo!
Translated from French

Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A place full of magic in the center of Besalú. It's a private exhibition worth seeing
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We had wanted to visit it for a long time, but it exceeded all our expectations. The collection, which is spectacular, lacks no detail and is presented with great care. It is recommended for both circus lovers and those unfamiliar with the subject. There are costumes, objects, press... from any circus discipline, and the explanations are clear and detailed. The model of the circus is amazing, it couldn't be more complete. The care and effort behind the entire exhibition is evident. In short, it is an immersion in a magical world that becomes a must-visit. Thank you, Genís, for making it possible, and congratulations!

Fantastic experience: Besalú has an impressive bridge, charming medieval streets, and a beautiful Romanesque church. But the big surprise was this museum where the history of the circus is told. A beautiful collection is well organized and attractively presented. An absolute must: worth the trip!!

Positive experience: I would have put a little animation!!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Great. Worth seeing. Pure history of the circus. The pure circus. Posters, costumes, everything. You really have to see it. Oh.. and a wonderful miniature circus...
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: It's an interesting museum. The kids get a little bored because there are too many things displayed. Nothing interactive where they can participate.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A fun museum with a very detailed miniature circus as the highlight. Not very big, but it was well worth the few euros for admission. We combined the access with the little train, but that ride was a disappointment. It’s easier to do it on foot and you also get to nicer places walking. It was nice that the driver opened the little church just for us to have a look inside.

Fantastic experience: very interesting, highly recommended. a wonderful collection and well explained.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Super interesting!!! A charming place, tastefully decorated, with a thousand details to enjoy the visit. 100% recommended, both for adults and for kids.

Fantastic experience: We visited the circus museum this afternoon with my partner. What to say... Just amazing to find so many things there. It is not only a blessing for the city to have such a museum... but for Spain as well. A passionate person is behind it. It takes a lot of courage to dare to create such a museum. This collection is just wow. We wish it a long life... there are plenty of poster changes as there are so many reservations and accumulated passion! Thank you for our exchanges as well...
Translated from French

Positive experience: Attractive museum with a good collection. It just needs some interactive activities with the public to feel like a real clown.

Fantastic experience: Very nice museum. For me, just for the stamp collection it is worth paying the almost €6 entrance fee. The model is huge. Everything is well explained and well indicated, impossible to get lost. The museum is the right size, neither big nor small. There is a very cozy terrace that at night is a cocktail bar. The museum is very well preserved and clean. The building also has its charm... There is a lot of work behind this museum, enthusiasm and attention to detail. In short, it is clear that I liked it :)

Fantastic experience: Oh my goodness! What a marvel "CIRCUSLAND" and Genís. Genís is the very polite, friendly, and passionate boy about the circus who is at the reception of CIRCUSLAND. For us, it has been a very, very great pleasure to have enjoyed Besalú this weekend. But what has fascinated us the most has been entering this spectacular Palace-Museum where each of its corners is created with the heart and with the illusion of those who adore the Circus and are passionate about the tent! The Circus will remain alive and loved as long as people applaud this wonderful art, and artists as magical as Genís make it feel so close, so alive, and so current.

Fantastic experience: If you visit the beautiful medieval village of Besalú (Girona), you can't miss Circusland, the international palace of circus art, open from 11 am to 7 pm. Rooms dedicated to different disciplines of period circuses. The largest miniature model in the world is a scale model of the Gleich Circus, which was at its peak in the 1930s… The largest collection of stamps dedicated to the Circus, costumes of many famous stars, trapeze artists, clowns, etc., the knife room to recreate scenes, the largest international equipment of circus culture, I would define it as the museum dedicated to the Culture of the circus, for me a very enriching experience that has transported me to the Ancient Circuses that I never knew, a walk through the history and grandeur of what they meant in their time of maximum splendor, all that they entailed, it was a very large, magical world that especially inspired awe and invited dreaming about it.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. It is very well explained and the place is ideal for the visit. I believe without exaggerating that Besalú, apart from the beauty of its medieval bridge next to the town, now has another incentive to come specifically to spend the day... and that incentive is the Circus Museum!!!!

Fantastic experience: Upon visiting the beautiful town of Besalú, we discovered Circusland by chance, and I have to tell you that it is definitely worth the visit. Circusland is a space of 1500 square meters spread over 3 floors, the result of the illusion and collection of a circus enthusiast. You can enjoy everything related to the Circus and its history, from issued postage stamps, costumes from all eras, posters, getting to know the different circus disciplines, and a long etcetera. The miniature model (advertised as the largest in the world) filled with details is impressive. Don't miss it!

Fantastic experience: Very interesting, it is worth visiting. Ideal with children.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A great circus museum, with a huge model representing all the activities of the circus, posters, costumes, ... It's definitely worth it to complete the day in Besalú. We just missed more information about the local circuses (e.g., Raluy, but other historical ones) and other artists. The world of clowns can also be much broader (Tortell, Rhum, Mary Santpere, ...) but the tribute to the Carablanca is appreciated.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Nice museum with a lot of records/posters/clothing from former circus artists. There is also a circus archive for enthusiasts. I expected a bit more video/film material, but it's nice to spend an hour there. I found the shop at the exit very expensive. I think it's not smart, because then people really buy nothing.

Fantastic experience: Nice museum, I recommend visiting it.
Translated from French
