Illusion Antwerpen

Illusion Antwerpen is a museum in Antwerp featuring physical and optical illusions displayed through interactive installations and hands-on exhibits. Visitors can move through different spaces, discovering visual puzzles and tricks designed to challenge how they perceive what they see.

The museum was established as the first of its kind in Flanders, marking the beginning of a new approach to making visual perception playful for visitors. This founding moment created a space where art and optical science could be explored through direct hands-on experience.

Each exhibition space contains handmade installations that invite visitors to touch and test optical phenomena that challenge how they see things. People come here together to play and experiment, making shared discovery a central part of the experience.

The location sits near the train station and is easy to reach on foot, with clear signage directing the way. It is best to allow enough time to explore each room at your own pace, especially if you want to take photos of the installations.

The museum rotates its exhibitions regularly, so each visit brings new puzzles and surprises to discover. Even returning visitors will encounter fresh installations that challenge their understanding in unexpected ways.
