This place -that is usually used for corporates events or groups visits only- will allow you to go through their 4 areas that gathers thousands of rare objects from fun fairs, shows or “simply” curious objects. You’ll find there old games (try the waiters race), theaters sets, old carousels (that are all in use) from the 1900′s.
