The ‘Festival of Marvels’ at the Paris Fairground Museum
from 26th December 2014 – 4th January 2015

Each year the Paris Fairground Museum (Musée des Arts Forains) opens specially over the Xmas holidays – usually they only open if you are part of a pre-booked group.

This year though the Museum pulls out all the stops and is offering what they call the Festival du Merveilleux – a Festival of Marvel no less! – including their latest acquisition 🙂

Here’s all the info.

The Musée des Arts Forains is one of our favourite end of year treats. Their ten special open days are not to be missed.

This year, in addition to the Theatre of Marvel, Venetian Salons and the ‘Theatre of Greenery’ (?), you’ll be able to go ‘wow’ at the Magic Mirror, a wooden mirrored ballroom from the 1920s that the museum installed just this autumn.

With almost non-stop entertainment on offer (every 30 minutes), you’ll be surrounded by jugglers, storytellers and acrobats in wild surroundings (they have to be seen to be believed) with old school fairground attractions to try out (including a merry-go-round with wooden horses and a lot of other fun stuff).

It’s something really out of the ordinary, and we hope to have some pictures of our own visit for you very soon!
