Nottingham Castle Christmas Countdown Clock: Day 14

Welcome to the Nottingham Castle Christmas Countdown, where each night, we’ll be sharing an item from the world-class collections in the Castle’s Galleries in the lead up to Christmas.

 

Tonight’s item is this clown toy dating back to the 1920s. This is currently displayed next to a circus painting named ‘Elsie’ by Dame Laura Knight in the Castle’s Art Gallery. We’ll be hosting a temporary exhibition dedicated to the work of Laura Knight from March 2022 – make sure you check our website for the latest updates.
