Museo Fallero
A unique museum that refers to a typical old tradition of Valencia: The Fallas! Every year, giant papier maché puppets, often satirical, are on show in the streets of Valencia. It’s the opportunity for a giant feast at the end of which all the Fallas are burned. All except for one … saved by the public. The museum exhibits the ‘graciées’ works and offers a video on the process of creation of a Falla as well as costumes, photographs etc.
