Musée de la magie - Musée des automates

Museum

District : Marais / Les Halles


Description :

Dear visitors, step into the den of magic, the universe of the unreal! From card tricks to white rabbits, from magic trunks to vanishing tricks, everything you see here emanates as much from your own imagination as from reality... The museum of magic (established in 1993 by George Proust) is an incredible place that groups together everything involved in the art of magic, conjuring tricks and illusion from the 18th century to the present day.

In the museum’s seven rooms you will find a considerable collection of objects: magic wands and boxes, magicians’ hats… as well as posters, engravings and ancient items that speak of the history of magicians. All kinds of surprises (all nice ones!) will pepper your itinerary and during your visit, experts are on hand to answer any questions you might have.

Make sure you don’t miss the regular shows that will delight, amaze and impress kids and grown-ups alike.
