The Nuit Blanche 2025 program at the Musée du Jouet :

• Parade
  Pierre Ardouvin's installation Parade references the world of circus and carnival, as well as the eponymous film by Jacques Tati, borrowing its colorful typography. It also subtly hints at evasion, reaction, or diversion in response to the unexpected or an attack. A joyful yet melancholic invitation—fragile yet tangible—the piece encourages us to strut like we’re trying to master the splits, blending the maximum with the minimum.
• This is an illusion & The future is going to be boring
  These two works humorously depict childhood amusement rides, detached from their usual carousels and elevated on quirky aluminum poles. Bright and luminous, each floating object carries a small placard with a message that playfully reflects on the future, illusion, travel, and dreams.
• From 7 PM to 10 PM: Free access to the garden, the artworks, and the opportunity to explore the museum at your own pace
  From 10 PM through the night: Artworks remain visible from the street, while the museum itself is closed
  Free and open access to Pierre Ardouvin’s works; museum entry is ticketed

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?
