This year, in keeping with the theme «Heritage of sport», the Musée des Arts Forains highlights the importance given to sport on the fairgrounds of the Belle Epoque. This unique conference will be hosted by Eloïse Galliard, head of collections at the Pavillons de Bercy.
In the nineteenth century, the funfair is not just about rides and attractions. It also offers many shows: cinema, cabarets, theatres, entresorts, scientific popularization and… sporting exploits. Between the exhibitions of strongmen, the real wrestling shows or the famous Death Walls, visitors are amazed… without depriving oneself of participating.
This scientific conference is intended for people over 12 years of age and will not be accompanied by a visit to the museum.
