Museum of illusions, Science museum in Old Town, Krakow, Poland.
The Museum of Illusions is a science museum in Krakow's Old Town that focuses on optical phenomena and visual deceptions. The collection features interactive installations like an infinity room with mirrors and various displays designed to challenge how visitors see.
The museum was established to make the science of visual perception accessible to a broad audience. Its location on Grodzka Street lies in the heart of Krakow's historic center, where artists and scholars have long gathered.
The exhibits explore how the human eye and brain process and interpret visual information. Visitors can directly experience how easily their perception can be deceived.
The museum is located in an easily accessible building in the Old Town and is easily reached on foot from the Market Square. Visitors should plan for 1 to 2 hours to fully explore the interactive installations.
The Glass Labyrinth is a striking feature where transparent glass panels form a complex maze that confuses visitors. Many people lose their way and find navigating surprisingly difficult.
