Carousel in Pop Culture

May 16, 2025 - Present
This exhibit is a tribute to the enduring magic of carousels and their journey from past to present. It is vital to bring this exhibit to life in the Carousel Museum, not as a relic of a bygone era, but as a living, evolving art form that resonates deeply in our culture.
Carousels are not just nostalgic relics of the past. They thrive in the present and promise to endure into the future. They remain symbols in our society, appearing in advertising, commercials, film and television, music videos and album covers, and even video games.
