Step straight inside
With skip-the-line entry, you bypass the ticket queue and head directly into the museum, saving time during busy hours and getting straight to the fun without waiting.
Enter a world of illusions
The visit begins with large-format trick paintings and optical illusions that immediately play with depth, scale, and perspective. Nothing is behind glass, in fact you’re encouraged to step in and interact.
Move freely, at your own pace
There’s no fixed route or timing. Wander through illusion rooms where you can shrink or grow in size, defy gravity, walk on ceilings, or pose in carefully designed scenes that transform reality through clever angles.
Step into iconic scenes
The museum also features interactive scenes with famous figures like Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin, fantasy setups involving King Kong, medieval alchemist Edward Kelley’s laboratory, a dinosaur illusion, and playful reinterpretations of artworks such as the Mona Lisa.
Capture the moment
Photography and videos are fully allowed, with dedicated illusion scenes designed for striking photos. Capture yourself walking on ceilings, levitating in mid-air, shrinking or growing in the Magic Room, posing with King Kong, standing beside Einstein or Chaplin, and interacting with large-scale optical paintings that change depending on your angle.
