Activities in ValenciaIndividual Sights in ValenciaSight 1: Museu Faller
The current Fallas Museum of Valencia has been installed since 1971 in the old Convent of the Mission House of San Vicente de Paül, which was completed in 1831, which is why it retains part of a structure of corridors and old cells. Later it had multiple uses, as a prison, barracks or warehouse. The Fallas Museum was rehabilitated and restructured in the early nineties of the twentieth century, being reopened in 1995. In 2016 the Fallas Museum was approved as an official Museum of the Generalitat Valenciana, being again restructured in its museological and museographic approaches. One of the novelties of this restructuring was the launch of the Josep Alarte temporary exhibition hall, dedicated to anthological exhibitions of the work of Fallas artists.
