We can take you carousel animal from the first image to the second!

The museum restoration program participates in preservation. Although there are approximately 200 original wooden carousels in operation in the United States today, many other historic carousels have been destroyed or lost. Many animals are now in private collections. The museum restoration crew will do preservation work for private collectors to help them preserve their art.

The Merry-Go-Round Museum maintains this active program of restoring antique carousel figures. Items may be brought to the museum for our expert staff to repair, restore, and repaint. All work done in the museum’s restoration shop uses the same historically accurate techniques used originally to create these fabulous works of art. All funds raised through this program is reinvested into the program.

Please contact us if you have a piece you would like considered for restoration.

All pieces must be evaluated prior to acceptance to the program. Decisions made by the program's master carver are final.
