  • BECOMING BARNUM: The Journey to Fame and FortuneInstructive Entertainments: Early 19th Century Panoramas - Episode 34In this episode of the Becoming Barnum podcast, P.T. Barnum rented breathtaking panoramas for his museum from a Scottish painter named Marshall. But he was afraid Marshall would charge extra if he found out Barnum wanted to send them to other museums. So, Barnum schemed to get the panoramas cheaply, even considering copying them. Eventually, he agreed to pay 6000 francs, after shaving off 2000 from another artist's quote. Barnum was determined to get a first-rate artist to paint the scenes, but refused to pay in advance. Tune in now for Barnum's relentless efforts to ensure everything is perfect.If you didn’t have an opportunity to see it at Mystic Seaport or at the New Bedford Whaling Museum you can learn about the exhibition, titled Spectacle in Motion, and see videos on their websites:https://www.whalingmuseum.org/exhibition/original-spectacle-in-motion/https://www.mysticseaport.org/exhibit/the-grand-panorama/Or you can enjoy the voyage via a digital story-map created by Michael Lapides and Christina Sewall–which is a really great way to learn about it too.https://nbwm.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=19513a5d13964a48aa9d00973c8a9674Let us know your thoughts by writing a review for the Podcast!Want to follow and support the Barnum Museum in Bridgeport Connecticut in more ways?
