About
The Musée des Arts Forains is a private collection of fairground art housed in the historic wine warehouses at 53 avenue des Terroirs de France in Paris. It offers a three‑room experience: the **Theatre of Marvels**, the **Venetian Lounges**, and the **Fairground Art Museum**. Visitors are guided through interactive exhibits, hand‑tuned carousel rides, automata shows, and historic amusement rides from the Belle Époque. Guided tours are available year‑round by reservation, with special events such as the Festival du Merveilleux and European Heritage Days allowing a rare free visit. The setting, with its Victorian‑styled interior and lush garden, transports attendees back to the vibrant world of 19‑th century fairs and entertainment.
