The Musée des Automates in Limoux, housed in a former industrial building, where you can learn about the maternity of automata
The Musée des Automates is a private museum housed in a former industrial building dating from the 1930s. This 1500m2 space, with its baroque, theatrical decor, is home to no fewer than 150 moving characters, staged to a series of light and music variations. Enter a dreamlike world inspired by fairy tales and legends, and become, for a moment, the child you once were. You'll enter the laboratory of the imaginary, the workshop where you can meet the artists who create these imaginary worlds. You'll be amazed.
