Muzeum fantastických iluzi, Interactive illusion museum in central Prague, Czech Republic
The Museum of Fantastic Illusions is an interactive museum in Prague with over 150 exhibits where visitors photograph themselves within large-scale optical installations and trick paintings. The collection combines various illusion styles, from classic optical tricks to modern photo installations.
The museum incorporates aspects of Prague's medieval history through an exhibit about Edward Kelley, a 16th-century English alchemist who worked at the royal court. This connection shows how the space blends the city's historical depth with its modern interactive approach.
The museum displays artistic reinterpretations of world-known figures like the Mona Lisa, Albert Einstein, and Charlie Chaplin, showing familiar faces from fresh angles. Visitors use these works as backdrops for photographs, creating their own takes on these recognizable images.
The museum is located in the city center near Mustek metro station and opens daily, allowing flexible visits at different times of day. The interactive exhibits can be explored at your own pace without needing guided tours or special knowledge.
Certain rooms allow visitors to experience physical transformations through optical tricks that create the impression of walking on ceilings or floating in the air. These specialized installations create moments where normal perception is completely suspended.
