Las Fallas Museum

0
(0)
The Las Fallas Museum (Museo Fallero de Valencia) is a fascinating tribute to the city’s world-famous Las Fallas Festival, declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. The museum preserves the artistry, creativity, and humor of this annual event by showcasing ninots — the intricate papier-mâché figures that are paraded and burned during the festival. Each year, one ninot is “pardoned” from the flames and added to the museum’s permanent collection, creating a colorful archive of Valencia’s cultural identity
