POP Central
About This Museum
You'd never guess that this unassuming spot in Étréchy holds one of France's most vibrant collections of 20th-century popular culture. It all started when a local teacher began saving what everyone else was throwing away—old comic books, vinyl records, and movie posters. Walking through POP Central feels less like a museum and more like stepping into a beloved, cluttered attic where every object has a story. It’s a place that truly captures the heartbeat of everyday life from decades past.
Collection Highlights
You'll find everything from a complete set of vintage Astérix figurines to walls papered with original concert flyers for bands like Téléphone. One of their most cherished items is a well-loved pinball machine from a café that once stood on this very street.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away just off the Av. du Pont Royal, so keep your eyes peeled. Don't be shy about asking the staff questions—they're usually volunteers who love to share the wild backstories behind the displays.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a converted stone-and-brick warehouse, the building itself has a rustic, industrial charm with its large windows and weathered wooden beams overhead.
