A museum off the beaten track in Paris
« Laughter and parties did not have a museum, yet so many are dedicated to wars. I created a world of dreams that could not have existed without the visitors who brought it to life. » Jean Paul Favand
One of Paris’s hidden gems

An unforgettable experience in a Parisian museum
Freed from the traditional window displays and labels, this conceptually innovative lively museum has existed for over 20 years thanks to its visitors. One of the singular aspects of this site that combines culture, conviviality and curiosity is the possibility to play with centenary attractions or ride old merry-go-rounds.
Its pioneering scenography, based on the mix of tradition and modernity, turns the visit into a holistic show, where objects and visitors become actors.
