The gegants and nans are characters of great tradition in the celebration of Corpus Christi, not only in Valencia, but also in other cities and towns where this festival is celebrated, since the fifteenth century. They are, moreover, Intangible Heritage of Humanity since 2005. We will carry out a workshop where families will create figures such as gegants of wood and cloth with their own portrait, with special interest in creating the clothing of these characters.

They say that a long time ago, in Zambia, there was a boy who thought he was very clever and that's why he called himself Landa the Clever... Do you want to know his story? It is a traditional story of the Lovale people about the picaresque and human relationships. With natural materials such as a wooden spoon, branches, cork and seeds, we will build and decorate a figure inspired by the African continent.

Fent Primavera is a place to remember our environment, to love it and take care of it. And what better way to convey this message than painting it with our hands, because in each of its corners there is a little bit of hidden nature. Do you dare to look for your spring? In addition, we will be able to take home a backpack for our outings in nature.

The poster condenses with a few elements the whole Fallas festival, although there are almost always elements that are repeated, if we look at the historical posters since 1929: masclets, dolls, falleras and, above all, a lot of red color and a lot of fire. With paint, collage, pieces of paper and a lot of imagination, we will create our own Fallas poster, to highlight the work of artists and graphic designers.

In this workshop the children will have to do a scavenger hunt through the rooms of the museum looking for a series of objects and writing their name. Then, with the negative of one of the objects they have found, they will make a cyanotype, which is one of the first photographic techniques. We will also talk about the first photography book, made by Anna Atkins with this technique.

Would you like to come and have some fun? You are still in time! Come and create figures, games and much more with clay! We're sure we'll have a great time, playing at being craftsmen and craftswomen and creating things in the traditional way. Are you up for it?

Enguany Espanta la Por! està dedicat a Enric Valor en agraïment a la seua gran tasca de recopilació  i difusió de la narració oral valenciana.
Celebrem 6 anys reivindicant la por valenciana al voltant de Tots Sants. I més que mai volem espantar les nostres pors amb l’ajuda dels monstres i les rondalles, jugant amb la Quarantamaula, cantant amb l’Home dels Nassos, escoltant la veu del Caro, dibuixant el nostre monstre imaginari i llegint les meravelloses rondalles i històries de la nostra terra.
Un any més espantem les pors molt ben acompanyats de les biblioteques valencianes i els museus etnològics locals, però enguany busquem escoles que se sumen al moviment Espanta la por! Ens acompanyeu en este viatge de valents i valentes?
Els monstres valencians continuen molt vius, aneu a l’aguait!

Dressing is a necessity, but it is also a sign of our character or our socio-economic status. We also dress to go to parties or to different events (weddings, baptisms, parties, etc.). The traditional costume has changed over time influenced by fashions. The typical costume is a model created, often with a mixture of styles and periods. With our characters, Empar and Ximo, we will learn about the differences between the costumes of the Valencian regions, the main items of clothing and how they are worn on the body.
