Midnight Paradox: immersive evenings at the Paradox Museum Paris

What if, in one evening, you were invited to chat with a magician, a contortionist, a hypnotist and many others? That's exactly what Midnight Paradox offers at Paradox Museum Paris: immersive nocturnes where you can freely explore the museum while making fascinating encounters! One Saturday a month from December 14, visitors can enter the museum from 7.30pm to midnight and enjoy exceptional performances throughout the evening.

On Midnight Paradox evenings, contortionists will impress with extraordinarily supple movements, pushing back the limits of the human body. Paradox storytellers will bewitch their audience with tales that blend poetry and reflection, inviting them to dream while shaking up their certainties. A hypnotist will then take the stage, playing with perceptions to plunge spectators into disturbing yet captivating experiences. Finally, magicians will round off the evening at the Paradox Museum Paris with some unique tricks.
