DISCOVER THE ART HOUSES OF THE MOULIN ROUGE!

If the magic of the Moulin Rouge lights up the stage every evening, it first comes to life in the hands of exceptional Artisans, whose expertise has shaped the show for 135 years. These passionate talents design the costumes and accessories that elevate the revue, bringing enchantment to every performance.

 

For the European Days of Crafts (JEMA) 2025, the Moulin Rouge opens its doors on April 5 & 6, offering an exclusive behind-the-scenes immersion into its renowned Art Houses, where rare craftsmanship is passed down through generations, blending tradition and innovation.
