This museum is highly unusual. It doesn’t have paintings or historical everyday objects used by royalty, nor does it have the work of fashion designers displayed. Instead, it showcases ninots (paper and wood figures) from the The Festival of Las Fallas. This festival is celebrated yearly in Valencia to welcome spring, and ninots are specifically made for and burned during this occasion. These figures are typically tall and revolve around rather abstract concepts, which may be fascinating and intriguing for non-locals.

Most of the ninots featured in the museum are modern replicas of those that were used in the festival over the past few decades. What is even more interesting is that the changes that accompanied each era can be reflected in the design of these figures. Such examples include a depiction of a prehistoric marriage which was produced in the mid 20th century, and a hippie couple from the 1970s. There were evidently no limits when the figures were created, as some were created to mock the political system in a given period. Unlikely sculptures like Yoda can also be found here! Curiously, some ninots escaped the burning (i.e. they are the original copies) and can be found enclosed in a glass casing.
