The Fallas Museum

If you can’t come to Valencia during Las Fallas, or simply want to learn more about this very special festival, don’t miss the Fallas Museum.

It is housed in the former Convent of the Casa-Misión de San Vicente de Paul, which also served as barracks, warehouse and prison. Today it displays the fabulous collection of ninots indultats, the individual figures from the Fallas monuments that have been saved from the flames since 1934. Pick up the museum’s audio guide to learn more about this tradition.

Each year, two ninots are pardoned by popular vote: one from a large falla and one from a children’s falla. If you visit Valencia in February or early March, you can also take part in the voting. All the candidates are displayed at the Ninot Exhibition in the Science Museum.

At the museum, you can admire up close the beauty, creativity and critical or humorous touch of the ninots, and learn about their complex creation process. You will also discover much more about Las Fallas, their meaning and how the festival has evolved throughout history. You’ll surely leave wanting to return to València for the next Fallas.

As a complement, you can add a visit to the Guild Museum of Fallas Artists. Located in Ciudad Fallera, where Fallas artists work on their creations, here you can follow the entire process: from sketch to the final falla. It also houses some ninots that the artisans themselves decided to save from the flames for their artistic value.
