Formans Brothers’ Theatre: THE IMAGINARIUM exhibition

To see, discover, play and explore, to touch and be enchanted — that is the spirit of a visit to Imaginarium. Puppets, art objects, ingenious moving contraptions, mechanisms, magical scenery, theatrical props, painted pictures, a carousel and old curiosities all come together to create the playful, visual and enchanting world of Imaginarium.

Through a large-scale and unique installation housed in a distinctive mobile hall, we tell a story of creativity, imagination, art and craftsmanship — and of the artists who together bring the world of Imaginarium to life. We invite visitors of all ages into a world of stories, visual beauty and play, where imagination knows no limits and miracles are made by human hands.

Nothing artificial. Nothing predictable. Nothing ordinary.
