Museo delle illusioni

The Museo delle Illusioni is a science museum in Florence dedicated to optical illusions and visual phenomena. The space contains multiple rooms with displays and interactive installations that show how light, perspective, and the eye work together.

The museum was created to teach scientific principles of visual perception through hands-on demonstrations. Since its opening, it has become a place where visitors learn about the connections between illusions and how the eye sees.

The exhibits explore how vision works and challenge what visitors think they see through interactive displays. People can walk through different rooms and experience firsthand how light, perspective, and the mind play tricks on perception.

The visit works best when you take time to explore each room slowly and test the effects yourself. It helps to move through the exhibition with patience and an open mind to fully understand how each installation works.

Many visitors miss the hidden optical illusions built into the walls and corners that only appear when you look carefully. These subtle details are just as interesting as the larger installations and reward close attention throughout the space.
