The floats, which are over 20 m tall and weigh about 19 metric tons, are constructed with paper stretched over a wooden frame and are lit with light bulbs from inside. The top half of the towering floats are taken up by colourfully painted sculptures of mythical characters and the angular lower half forms the intricately decorated pedestal for the sculptures. 
These 3 principal floats were assembled and stored in the museum, which resembles NASA's Vertical Assembly Building.
