The American Circus Museum is a product of the Spring 2018 Advanced Design Studio at The USF School of Architecture and is located in Downtown Tampa, Florida. The building is roughly 200,000 square feet. It is located directly across from the water with views of other downtown icons. The inspiration of the museum are the circus clown, circus aerobatics, circus animals, circus food, and circus history exhibitions. The American Circus Museum contains an aerobatic school, bookstore, cafe, coffee shop, children's clown school, and an administration suite as well. The inspiration to this project is derived from The Ringling Circus Museum in Sarasota, Florida.
