Museu Faller de València

4 Plaça de Montolivet, València, Comunidad Valenciana

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.

Access & Transport

Address: 4 Plaça de Montolivet This is very close to the Queen Sofia Palace of Arts and the whole City of Arts and Sciences complex. There are bus stops close by (13, 14, 15, 18, 24, 25, 95.) and the 'Amado Granell-Montolivet' tram stop (10) is only 700m away.

Instructions & Recommendations

We suggest combining this activity with a visit of the Queen Sofia Palace of Arts and/or a walk in the Jardin del Turia.

Meta review

Not a well-advertised museum in travel guides but online reviews are very positive. Visitors use adjectives such as 'amazing', 'life-like' and 'interesting' to describe both the artistic and cultural aspects. The best venue to understand the evolution of the Fallas figures over the years.

Environmental & Social

Minor electricity consumption and repurposing of an existing building. Preserves the city's artistic and cultural heritages.

Conclusion

A gem for those keen to discover more about what makes Valencia unique. The museum will provide travellers with great insights into the tradition of the Fallas Festival and the opportunity to admire the spared ninots. Interesting for children as well.
