About

The Álava Fournier Museum of Playing Cards (Spanish: Museo Fournier de Naipes de Álava, Basque: Arabako Fournier Karta Museoa) is a playing card museum located in Vitoria, Spain. It originated as a private collection in 1916 by Félix Alfaro Fournier, the grandson of the founder of Naipes Heraclio Fournier. It was bought by the government of Álava and was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1984. In 1994, it moved to its current location in the Bendaña palace which it shares with the Álava Museum of Archaeology.
