The Museum of Miniature Found Objects is delighted to announce the inauguration of the new Great Moment in World History, on the recently refurbished Rivoli Roof Terrace. The display commemorates the occasion of young Dan Leno’s triumph as world clog dancing champion in Oldham in 1883. Dan Leno would go on to become one of the most renowned and beloved comedians of Victorian music hall, but as a 22-year-old the world of clog dancing still lay at his feet.
