Sure, some are worth a visit, but at a certain point, they start to blend togetherβnot to mention, the admission fees add up fast. This post may contain affiliate links. Thanks a lot! First, take some time to reflect on what your interests are.
Do you like parks and nature? Kitschy or themed museums, as opposed to traditional art museums? Music and the performing arts? The first section will cover off-beat museums in Paris, perfect for weirdos out there like me who are over the standard art museum.
I cannot gush about this lesser-known museum enough. As soon as you step into the Pavillons de Bercy, you will forget everything that belongs to your modern, technologically advanced life.
This interactive museum holds a unique collection of performing arts objects from the 19th and 20th centuries. Think vintage carnival games, merry-go-rounds, and contraptions. It is a timeless getaway into the themes of curiosity cabinets, carnivals, incredible gardens, and pure vaudeville joy.
The super fun thing about it is that the rides and games actually work! We played the game where you race horses by flinging a ball into holes, rode a couple of vintage merry-go-rounds, and saw so many old animatronics come to life.
