The Museum of Fakes was created in 1951 by the French Union of Manufacturers ( French Union des Fabricants ) with a pedagogical purpose: its task is to show the extent of falsification of products in the world, to present the point of view of manufacturers on the impact of fakes on the modern economy, and also to tell the visitor the importance of copyright protection and penalties prescribed by law for their violations.
