We waited at the opening of the museum I ask the woman (blonde) of the desk if i can take pictures because there was a sign which indicate that we couldn't. She said no. I get out. I don't understand their policy. In every museum and churches of Valencia and even in spain we can. I could take all the... More

Are you visiting Valencia during Fallas in March? Fascinated by the statues? See how they were made over the years and how they changed over the years. More

This museum is a must for family and friends visiting Valencia (better if during Fallas). We took family members and they thoroughly enjoyed it. The only difficulty was that we had to translate the video that was offered to the public. More

I guess that given the size of the real Fallas there is not much that can be done but certainly you do not get even the faintest idea of what Fakkas is like just by visiting the museum More

Valencia is famous for their fallas, and we wanted to see more about the history of it. We loved walking around the museum, and although our spanish isn't perfect we could understand most of the written stuff. It would be great if they'd print it in English as well, but to be honest you don't really need to read anything... More

This museum shows the figures that are burned during the Fallas. These are called ninots and the best ninot evey year is saved and it ends up in this museum. They are made of paper mache and wax and most are supposed to be funny. More

I went here whilst waiting for the open top bus which stops outside. Unfortunately this meant I didn't have much time to see the wonderful "statues" which are spread out over 2 floors. Don't forget to pick up a leaflet in English when you go in as nothing else is written in English. Would love to go back to see... More

My spouse and I missed the Las Fallas, hence we paid this museum a visit to see what is this celebration all about. We were captivated and amused by the highly crafted figurines and their homourous expressions. Made from paper, these figurines, popularly known as ninots were hand crafted and paraded around the city for Las Fallas and later be... More
