Musee de l'Illusion Paris, Interactive perception museum in 1st arrondissement, France
Musée de l'Illusion Paris is a museum in Paris with around 70 installations featuring optical illusions, holograms, and interactive devices. Visitors can test their senses and explore the limits of visual perception through hands-on engagement.
The concept started in Zagreb in 2015 and expanded to multiple cities worldwide. Paris became home to the first French location of this museum concept dedicated to sensory perception.
The museum explores how our brain processes and interprets visual information through deception. Visitors discover how easily perception can be fooled by what the eyes see.
The museum opens daily from 10:00 to 22:00 and sits on Rue Saint-Denis in the 1st arrondissement. Plan about 1 to 1.5 hours to explore all the installations at your own pace.
The Ames Room is a chamber with trapezoidal construction where a person can appear twice as large as another depending on position. This illusion works because the room's distorted geometry completely deceives the eye about actual size and distance.
