Steampunk Festival at the Railway Museum

" The Cité du Train hosts a steampunk festival in its collections. A rich and unexpected program awaits you, with exhibitions, animations, object creations, demonstrations and strolls in costume. "

Inspired by the Victorian era and science fiction, the Steampunk movement pays homage to the industrial age and steam power. Top hats, corsets, round spectacles, gusseted watches and other inventions with abracadabrantesque cogs are the order of the day in this alternative reality where elegance and advanced technologies, powered by steam, are skilfully combined. Welcome to a bygone but futuristic era, in the heart of an exceptional setting, surrounded by mythical steam locomotives that have left their mark on history. For one weekend, like H.G. Wells, the Cité du Train - Patrimoine SNCF invites you to travel back in time and reinvent History, where steam is at the heart of the industrial revolution. A rich and unexpected program awaits the curious and followers of this trend, with exhibitions of photographs and costumes, burlesque animations, conferences, object creations, duels, demonstrations of vintage machines and strolls in costume. An event organized in partnership with French Steampunk, to be enjoyed with family or friends, and sure to please both young and old with wild imaginations.¿
