EXHIBITIONS OF THE MUSEUM OF ILLUSIONS
The exciting thing about visiting this museum is that you will constantly be confronted with contradictions: your brain will tell you things that your common sense will have a hard time accepting. There, everything is made to play tricks on your mind 🙂
Here is a small glimpse of what you will discover:
- In the Vortex Tunnel, you will feel as if you are about to lose your balance at any moment, in spite of being on a completely flat and still floor;
- In the anti gravity chamber, you will not know whether the ground is flat or inclined, whether the water flows up or down... all the laws of physics will be broken;
- The illusion chair will show you how the perception of size is only a matter of perspective;
- The infinite room – the room of mirrors – will give you the impression of an endless space;
- The table of clones will make you sit down in charming company, with 4 other copies of yourself..
In all, about 80 illusions are presented in the galleries of this museum, making it the largest collection of optical illusions in the world.
A FUN AND EDUCATIONAL VISIT
In addition to the exhibits, you will be able to discover the "Smart Playroom".
