Museo de las ilusiones, Interactive museum in Madrid, Spain
The Museum of Illusions contains installations of optical illusions, visual paradoxes, mathematical puzzles, and perception experiments across multiple exhibit rooms.
The Madrid location joined the global network of illusion museums in 2020, bringing scientific understanding of visual perception to the Spanish capital.
The museum connects scientific principles with artistic displays, offering visitors insights into how human brains process visual information through hands-on experiences.
Located near Plaza Mayor, the museum welcomes visitors every day until 10 PM, with special rates available for families and student groups.
Each installation transforms visitors into active participants as they step into rooms where water flows upward and people change sizes against geometric backgrounds.
