MUSEUM



It's with great pride that I invite you to visit my family's Picture Museum.

The photo's are authentic and have never before been viewed in public. Having them 'with me' on the web-site is a way of honouring the spirit of adventure and free-thinking my family strived, so hard, to keep alive -

Bassi-Troupe 1880

(clowns-acrobats) My great-grand father, Giovanni with brother and cousins, around about 1880
His father was also in the buisness but we have unfortunatly no documents.

Grand Cafe Concert, 1891

A strange jump in time. A poster of my great grandfathers troupe in Utrecht where 106 years later I inaugurate the Internet Circus.

Circus Fanni 1920

My grandfather, Marcel, around the year 1920 with the legendary side-show circus Fanni in Paris, Foire du Trone.

Circus Marcelis, 1935

My Grandfather, Marcel and my father, Leon (as a boy) in the thirties.
Proud of their new car in front of their miniature circus Marcellis.

Trio Bassi's 1955

A highlight of my father's juggling career with his sister and brother-in law. The trio Bassi, in a show in Hollywood with Louis Armstrong.
