Corrected entry: At the end the museum burns down to the ground and Barnum and Phillip decide to open up again. However once the new circus is open we see Barnum leave to see his daughter perform in the ballet. But in reality it was over 5 years from when the museum burnt down to when the circus opened. Yet his daughter is the same age.

Correction: Within the movie's storyline, the tented circus opens a short time after the building burns down, despite the fact that "in reality" it was 5 years. This film is not a historical documentary. It's a highly fictionalized story loosely based on a few real people and real events, and as such they're not obligated to be factually accurate, which is a standard accepted movie convention.
