Museu Faller de València

After every Falles (Fallas) festival, all the ninots (the wooden constructions you see in the pictures) are burned in the 'la cremà' fire, except for one "adult" and one "baby" ninot that are "pardoned". The museum has kept all the pardoned adult ninot since 1934, and since the first exposition of the baby ninots, they have also kept all the pardoned baby ninots. You can easily spend up to an hour getting lost in the two story tall museum, serving as a window into the history - "the spirit (geist)" if you will - of Valencia, quite literally. Yet, if you have been to any Fallas in person, you will have noticed a lot of political satire, a lot of radical and candid expressions that will never get past the voting ground (context: the pardon is decided by the popular vote). It makes you wonder, especially during the Franco era, what were the ninots like that didn't survive the la cremà? The entrance is two euros, with discounts for students etc. No waiting time.
