If you’ve ever ridden on a carousel, then you know all about the colorful sights and sounds that go into a seemingly simple ride. As an adult you notice there is more to the beauty of carousels than you first noticed. It’s no longer just about choosing your favorite animal to sit on for the carousel ride. You notice the artistic beauty and craftsmanship that goes into each piece to give each carousel creature their own unique personality. The New England Carousel Museum in Bristol combines the adult appreciation for art and history with the childhood belief in magic to present a museum which takes you back in time to the best parts of being a child.
