Les Pavillons de Bercy - Musée des Arts Forains, Fairground arts museum in 12th arrondissement, France
The Musée des Arts Forains occupies 8,200 square meters across three indoor exhibition areas, featuring antique carnival rides and fairground artifacts dating from 1850.
In 1996, collector Jean-Paul Favand established this museum to preserve and display mechanical entertainment objects from nineteenth-century European fairgrounds and celebrations.
The museum presents weekly guided tours through multiple themed sections, including the Theatre of Wonders and Venetian Salons, displaying mechanical music instruments and carnival games.
Located near Bercy Village and accessible via Metro Line 14 at Cour Saint-Emilion station, the museum requires advance reservations for its guided tours.
Visitors can ride functioning historical attractions, including wooden horse carousels and velocipede machines, making it one of few museums with operational vintage equipment.
