Introduction

The Museo Fallero in Valencia is devoted to the figures and works of Las Fallas, the city's signature traditional festival. Centred on building and finally burning large paper-and-wood figures (fallas), the festival is inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The museum's highlight is the ninots indultats, figures saved from burning by public vote and preserved intact, letting you see these exaggerated, varied works up close. Displays and texts explain the festival's origins, craft and sequence. It suits visitors interested in local folklore and craft, needs little time, and can be combined with other Valencia museums.
