Museo de las ilusiones, Science museum in Casco Antiguo, Seville, Spain.
The Museo de las Ilusiones is a science museum in Seville filled with optical illusions, holograms, and interactive installations. The exhibition spans about 600 square meters across multiple rooms designed to challenge how visitors perceive space and reality.
The museum is a modern addition to Seville's cultural scene, bringing scientific exploration into the heart of the historic old town. It represents contemporary thinking within a district known for centuries of architectural tradition.
The space explores how our brains process what we see and sometimes get fooled by it. Visitors can discover firsthand how easily perception can be tricked or understood through hands-on exploration.
The museum sits in the heart of Seville and is easily accessible on foot from other attractions in the area. Visitors should allow time to experiment with the interactive stations, since many installations work best when you stop and try them yourself.
The Kaleidoscope, Ames Room, and Vortex Tunnel installations let visitors experience spatial distortions and perception-altering phenomena firsthand. These specialized rooms use psychological tricks to fool our brains and reveal how relative our senses really are.
