There are very few “juggling destinations” in the world. Some jugglers visit Enrico Rastelli’s tomb in Bergamo, Italy or Paul Cinquevalli’s tomb in London, UK. In recent years, my Museum of Juggling History has become such a spot that jugglers want to visit. Jugglers from Russia, the Netherlands, Hungary, Sweden, Germany, the UK, Canada, Finland, and from across the USA have traveled to Middletown, Ohio (USA) to see the world’s largest collection of historical juggling props and memorabilia. The museum continues to grow on an almost weekly basis. It’s been several years since a video tour of the museum has been created, so I decided to film a guided tour for eJuggle readers. Below is the first of a three part walk through of the museum. If you want to learn more about any of the jugglers or props in the video, please visit www.jugglingmuseum.com, which has been recently updated with the entire collection.
