Paradox Museum

The Paradox Museum is an exhibition of optical illusions and perception-altering displays located in central Stockholm. The space contains interactive stations throughout where visitors can physically engage with visual tricks, spatial distortions, and sensory challenges designed to reveal how perception works.

The concept originated from a global Paradox brand and expanded to Stockholm as part of the museum's international growth. The venue quickly became popular with visitors of all ages seeking hands-on experiences beyond traditional museum formats.

The museum explores how people perceive and understand reality through hands-on exhibits. Visitors can test their own senses and discover how the brain and eyes work together to create what we think we see.

The museum is easy to navigate with stations positioned at comfortable heights for most visitors, and there is space to move freely between exhibits. Plan to spend several hours if you want to try most of the installations, as each works better when you can take time to understand how your eyes and brain are being tricked.

Some rooms are deliberately designed so your brain receives false signals about movement and direction, creating sensations of weightlessness or disorientation without any technology or special equipment. This happens purely through angled floors, wall patterns, and carefully positioned lighting that your brain misinterprets.
