Gallery 4 - Potpourri of Objects, Oddities, Artifacts & Sounds Christmas Elephant at Ca d'Zan, Sarasota, Florida

Christmas Every Year Sarasota, Florida The John & Mable Ringling Museum & Galleries in Sarasota contains, among many other things, the original Ringling Mansion built in the 1920's. During the Christmas Season the house is decorated with many of the objects the Ringlings owned when they lived there. One of them is this elaborate Elephant. Ca d'Zan means John's House in some obscure Italian or Venetian dialect. John Ringling was extremely fond of baroque art and collected it to the tune of twenty million dollars back in the 1920's.
