The Nuit Blanche 2025 program at the Musée du Jouet :

• Parade
  Installation by Pierre Ardouvin Parade refers to the world of the circus and the carnival, as well as to Jacques Tati's film of the same name, from which it borrows its colorful typography. It's also a way of suggesting avoidance, riposte and diversion in the face of the unexpected or an attack. A joyful and melancholy invitation, fragile and concrete, where the maximum meets the minimum, the work incites us to parade as if we were perhaps trying out the grand écart.
  
  
• This is an illusion & The future is going to be boring
  These two works humorously depict children's merry-go-rounds detached from their carousels and placed in space on squiggly aluminum masts. The works are luminous. Each of these flying objects carries a message written on a small sign, and speaks to us in a humorous way about the future and illusion, travel and dreams.
  
  
• 7-10pm: free access to the garden and the works of art, and free entry to the museum
  10pm-all night: works of art visible from the street, museum closed
  Free access to the works of art by Pierre Ardouvin, museum entrance fee payable.

Le programme est mis à jour en fonction des annonces officielles.

So how about a trip to the Musée du Jouet in Poissy, and why not a trio to kill three birds with one stone?
