Museo Fallero de Valencia
About This Museum
You might not expect a museum dedicated to the art of burning things, but that's exactly what you'll find at the Museo Fallero. This is where the most breathtaking ninots—the giant, satirical papier-mâché figures from Valencia's Fallas festival—are saved from the flames each year and granted immortality. Walking through the halls feels like stepping into a surreal dreamscape, surrounded by towering caricatures of politicians, celebrities, and mythological creatures. It’s a riot of color, craftsmanship, and humor that tells the story of a tradition unlike any other.
Collection Highlights
The absolute stars are the ninots indultats—the single favorite figure pardoned by public vote each year since the 1930s. Seeing them lined up chronologically is like walking through a history book of pop culture and Spanish society, all depicted with incredible wit and detail.
Visitor Information
It's located just south of the Turia Gardens, a pleasant walk from the city center. Do pair your visit with a trip during Fallas in March to see these incredible creations in their natural, fiery habitat.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a former leper's hospital, the building itself is a piece of quiet history with its old stone walls and arched doorways, providing a wonderfully sober contrast to the vibrant chaos housed inside.
