Now a bit of the Merry-Go-Round Museum for you:

A lion and a couple of horse legs put on display. In the far background is where the carver's station used to be.

One of the band organs they have on display. This is one of the ones that don't work (so far as regular visitors are shown).

Another of the band organs, a smaller one and one I don't remember from past visits.

A bunch of menagerie figures in the corner here, with camel, giraffe, rooster, and I believe that's a donkey there.

Bunny in the corner there. Notice how authentically long that tail is, when you pay attention to it!

And here's another heap of figures, over in front of another band organ. I don't know why this skeleton isn't riding the horse on the saddle instead. (Probably the only place it would be stable, if we're going to be boringly honest about it.)
Trivia: During the transposition and docking of the Apollo 17 Command/Service Module and Lunar Module there were indications of a ring latch malfunction. Troubleshooting indicated the handles for latches 7, 9, and 10 were not locked. All were manually set, allowing the lunar module to be extracted from the S-IVB stage holding it.
