Fogueres Museum
Preserved festival figures, costumes and posters explain Alicante's Bonfires of Saint John year-round, with satire and craft taking precedence over a simple event timeline.
The museum gives essential context to a celebration that is otherwise concentrated in June. Ninots Indultats spared from the flames reveal how artists model character and political humour, while costumes, photographs and posters show the civic organisations and visual traditions behind the street festival.
What to look for
Ninots Indultats preserve figures saved from burning by popular vote.
Costumes, posters and photographs trace changing festival design and public ritual.
Historical documents show how neighbourhood groups organise the celebration.
Useful to know
Allow 45 to 60 minutes; the preserved figures are the clearest starting point for reading the displays.
Visit before exploring festival monuments in June, or use it as a year-round substitute outside festival dates.
Check the current timetable before going because the museum is not continuously open.
