Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey was a famous circus that combined two well-known shows: Ringling Bros. Circus and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Founded in the late 19th century, it became known as "The Greatest Show on Earth." The circus featured a variety of acts, including acrobats, clowns, and exotic animals, captivating audiences for over a century. In 2017, after more than 146 years of performances, the circus closed its doors due to declining ticket sales and changing public attitudes toward animal performances. Despite its end, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey remains a significant part of American entertainment history.
