Showcasing talents of the millionaire entertainer
HE was the greatest showman on Earth - and now a spectacular exhibition showcasing the life and legacy of PT Barnum is thrilling crowds in Sheffield.
Barnum, made famous all over again in modern times thanks to a hit musical, was the world's first showbiz millionaire.
The exhibition, titled Humbug! Celebrating 200 Years of PT Barnum, is now open at Sheffield University's newly refurbished Western Bank Library and runs until May 27.
It features original posters and handbills used by the celebrated entertainer to endorse his shows over 100 years ago - and a life-size statue of Barnum depicting him as half man, half insect.
The Humbug! exhibition is free and is open weekdays 9am until 9pm and weekends 10am until 6pm excluding bank holidays.
