Larry Rosenblum describes his favorite museum, the Musée des Arts Forains, located in Bercy. He explains that it houses relics from fairs, including rides and animated figures, and highlights a unique, people-powered bicycle carousel that he found to be fast and fun.
“The one that I first learned about from your podcast is Musée des Arts Forains, Fairground Arts.”
“So that's a museum in old disused wine warehouses on the east side of Paris in Bercy, which are filled with relics from fairs.”
“The bicycles, we got to ride on three, three carousels. So two of them are the traditional ones you get on the animal and you go round. But the third one, which I had never seen before, is a carousel made up of a circle of bicycles and it's all people powered.”
