| | The international Museum of Carousel Art - Art | | The IMCA is very fortunate to have a major portion of the Perron Family Collection on permanent loan. We now have more than 110 carved animals on display as well as an operational Wurlitzer band organ, chariots, carving exhibits and many other artifacts from the golden age of carousels. Included in the museum are exhibits on European animals, the major American carvers, armored horses, and the restoration process. If you ask the Perron's "why carousels?" they would tell you how the carvers put magic into each carousel animal. A little of that magic is shared with each person who admires them and each child, of any age, who rides on them. |
