1946 : Establishment of a workshop to the construction of electro-mechanical automatons by Augustine, Georges, and Robert EMA. These automatons are made to be sold or rent to the animation of shop-windows.


1991 : Opening of the Museum "La Renaissance des Automates EMA", on December 8, 1991.
About one hundred automatons are exposed and spread over 4 rooms.
The production of new animated characters continues in the workshop (design, modelling, mechanic, decoration, clothing...).
As the years go by, many animated scenes are created. In 1997, the museum presents a collection of 250 automatons spread out over 20 scenes,
and 7 rooms.

2007 : Creation of the Foundation ASG-EMA. On May 15, 2007, the museum is recognized of public utility.

The museum is open 7 days a week, from 2.00 pm to 6.00 pm
(another schedule is available for groups).
During the visit (which usually lasts about an hour), you will discover some secret of an automaton-making and you will enter the universe of great authors, paintors, musicians, inventors... through rich and various scenes : Gargantua the giant, Mozart, the hunchbacked of Notre-Dame, the famous puppet Guignol, Peter Pan, "20 000 leagues under the Sea" ... and many more !
We hope for your visit.
In the meantime, you can have a view of three of our scenes...
