MASSILLON,Ohio — Something funny is going on at the Massillon Museum.

 The Kelly Miller Circus clowns will be on the Museum’s front lawn from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. July 17.  The young — and young at heart — are invited to meet the clowns and enjoy their antics, then head to the museum’s second floor to view The Immel Circus.

 The Immel Circus is a 100-foot-square miniature circus diorama featuring 2,620 figures hand-carved by the late Dr. Robert M. Immel of Massillon. The diorama is surrounded by historic circus posters and photographs from the Museum’s permanent collection.

 Visitors can buy Kelly Miller Circus tickets at the front reception desk. Cash or checks will be accepted for the tickets which are $6 for children and $10 for adults. Tickets are available at the museum now through Aug. 1, when the circus will perform at the Massillon Knights of Columbus at 988 Cherry Road NW. Circus performances are set for 4:30 and 7:30 p.m.

 The museum is at 121 Lincoln Way E in downtown Massillon. A visit to the Massillon Museum is always free. For more information, call the Massillon Museum at 330-833-4061 or visit massillonmuseum.org.
