Museum of Illusions, Interactive illusion museum in Innere Stadt, Austria
Description
The Museum of Illusions is an interactive collection of optical illusions, holograms, and perception-altering installations spread across several rooms in Vienna's city center. The exhibits invite visitors to see how their eyes can deceive them in surprising ways.
History
The museum opened in 2017 and became part of a global network that originated in Zagreb. Since then, this concept has expanded to become a popular attraction in several cities across Europe.
