doorway to the Johnny Eck Museum.
It is a one of a kind Cyber Jewel!

this point in it's development it provides the
visitor with the unique opportunity to look into
the lives of Johnny and Robert Eckhardt.
The museum's collection of personal items from
their estate opens the door into the
amazing world of the Eckhardts'.
As you stroll through the many cyber doorways of
the museum you will experience the world through
the eyes of Johnny himself.
His Artwork, Music, Photographs and Writings
give us the rare opportunity to witness a Great
Showman, Performer and most of all his Humanity.
In a time when it was hard for a person with a
disability to make a living, Johnny stepped out
on the bally platform and with his many talents
amazed the world.
The Johnny Eck Museum brings to life the
accomplishments that each of the brothers made.
It lets us view the private moments in the
relationship between two brothers that lived,
worked and loved one another.

Johnny
Eckhardt was born on August 27th 1911 at his parents
home in Baltimore, Md. He was one of two twins.
The other brother, Robert, was
born a normal, healthy child.
Johnny, though healthy, was
born with no lower half. His body stopped just
below the ribs.
"Oh my lord, he's a broken doll." cried one of the
midwives as Johnny came out.
However, in his 79 years on this earth Johnny Eck (his
name was shortened by his first manager)
accomplished more than most
people with legs
