On a rainy day, or an overly hot one, you can venture into the world of visual effects with your family, friends of travel mates. Turn into a dwarf or a long-legged giant. Turn your world around without actually moving and test your brain cells with various imaginative games. For adults, who will get to see the world from a different point of view, and the youngest of visitors, who will acquire new knowledge in an imaginative way, learning about vision, perception, human brain and the science behind the connection between the eyes and the brain. And, most of all … learn that at the Museum of Illusions nothing is what it seems.

Kick off your museum adventure in the room of Photo Illusions, which features various images and put your eyes to test. Continue with some fun wooden games and compete against your family to find out who is the fastest at solving tricky mind puzzles.

Continue in one of the optical illusion rooms – an anti-gravity room, a room where the world is turned upside down, an infinity disco room, where the party is never over, or in the Ames Room, one of the museum’s most popular photo ops. Each of the rooms is unique, challenging you to look for an answer to the question why and how.

Go back to your childhood and discover the joys of the kaleidoscope, fun holograms with all sorts of different images, discover the magic of illusions and the secrets behind the stereogram … and to finish it all off, make your head and your world spin in the Vortex Tunnel, which you are bound to leave on wobbly legs.

It is only a few minutes’ walk through the city centre to get from the true comfort of our hotels to an alternative reality of the Museum of Illusions, located at the Kongresni Trg square, one of the locals’ favourite places to hang out. At the museum, you can have some fun with your family or friends every day between 9:00 and 22:00, joining the many museum goers and TripAdvisor contributors who have decided the Museum of Illusions is Ljubljana’s number one museum.
