As 2010 draws to a close so do two of the La Quinta Museum's exhibits. "PT Barnum and the Circus" and "Old Hollywood and the Desert Club" will both be closing on December 31st.
"PT Barnum and the Circus" features a variety of circus memorabilia illustrating the life of the "Greatest Showman." The exhibit also includes a display focusing a few of Hollywood's big stars who got their starts in the circus. Celebrities include, Cary Grant, W.C. Fields, Tom Mix and Burt Lancaster.
"Old Hollywood and the Desert Club" tells the story of one of La Quinta's most famous landmarks. Although the club is gone today, it's easy to revisit with the museum's fascinating exhibit. See photographs of Kirk Douglas and Rita Hayworth at the club as well as a menu autographed by such stars as Robert Mitchum, Gary Cooper, Virginia Mayo, Piper Laurie and more. Lana Turner's demitasse set also sits on display, along with an original blueprint from the 1930's for a home in the La Quinta Cove.
The gift shop has also added new merchandise including coffee mugs featuring the museum's mural, sterling silver jewelry, geodes, petrified wood and gemstone magnets. Perfect for gift giving and stocking stuffers!
