Our building is closed due to a fault. If you've got a ticket to an event this evening, these are still going ahead. We expect to be open again at 10am Friday.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!

<p>Postcard showing Krichel's troupe of two giants (one male, one female), a fat lady and eight midgets. The men are all wearing suits, the giant has a top hat. The fat lady has her left foot resting on a footstool and the midget women are wearing 1920s 'flapper' dresses, beads and headbands. There is a JK monogram behind them. The card would probably have been sold as a souvenir at places where they were exhibited as part of a freak or variety show and there are several with the same title.</p>
