Museu Faller de València
1 / 5
Museu Faller - by Management
Description
The Museu Faller collection consists of pardoned ninots (since 1934), children's ninots (since 1963), winning and finalist posters of Fallas (since 1929), and other memorabilia related to the popular festival of the Fallas of Valencia. For context, when the night of March 19 arrives, all Fallas are burned in the traditional 'cremá' except for 2 elected 'ninots' that are spared from the flames. The museum is located in an old convent later used as prison and barracks in the southeast of the city.
