Our Mission

Our mission is to establish and maintain an internationally recognized “Clown Hall of Fame” which pays tribute to the “Art of Clowning” around the world. We operate an international historical museum which displays significant clown memorabilia and maintain an extensive research center for clowning history. Programs were developed and implemented various educational programs, “Healing with Laughter” which have been presented to people of all ages, and socioeconomic backgrounds. We provide technical assistance in research projects all over the world based on the history of clowning. We strive to enhance community involvement and support for the “Art of Clowning”.


Thank you for visiting the Clown Hall of Fame! -Terese Hall (Tickles the Clown) Administrator
