Festival du Merveilleux 2024

<h4>From December 27 to January 5, discover the Festival du Merveilleux! </h4>
Many new shows will amaze young and old, all in a friendly and warm atmosphere. This is an opportunity for the public to discover the museum at their own pace, to be amazed by the exceptional heritage preserved in the museum’s various rooms and to attend many impromptu shows.

<strong>Purchase of tickets in advance recommended.</strong>

We recommend that you <a href=”https://arts-forains.tickeasy.com/fr-FR/accueil”>buy your tickets</a> online in advance. These tickets are not queue-jump tickets but guarantee you can attend the festival. If the on-site capacity is reached on site, we will no longer be able to let visitors in without tickets. Favor the mornings.

The usual guided tours of the museum will resume after the holidays.
