About

With each card unfolded by a decorative hand, a story comes to life, laying out a world of stillness that seems to hold its breath on old paper. In the quiet streets of Issy-les-Moulineaux, the Playing Card Museum presents visitors with a great many cards accumulated like pieces of a puzzle within the flow of time, and the fleeting sentiment seeped into the gaps brushes past the ear as if mimicking the tone of a bygone era. Labels decorated as intricately as fragments of drawing paper stage a visual feast between subtle shadow and bright light. Visitors face the design of each card with the air of someone waiting for a secret narrative to end. Here, it is not simply a game card but a warm past felt at one's fingertips that unfolds.
