Ringling mural leaves Tysons Corner for new home
from: washingtonpost.com/business
After 22 years gracing the Tysons Corner lobby walls of Feld Entertainment, the 22-by-42-foot Ringling Bros. mural by William Woodward is moving to Sarasota, Fla., where it will go on permanent exhibition at the Ringling Museum. The mural was disassembled last week.


Tim Curry uses a spatula to separate the canvas from the wallboard behind William Woodward's Ringling Bros. mural, the largest in the US painted by one person. After 22 years in the Tysons Corner lobby of Feld Entertainment, the mural is heading to Sarasota, Fl.
