Paradox Museum

Paradox Museum

The Paradox Museum is an interactive museum in Paris focused on illusions and perception tricks. It features about 90 different exhibits, including the Zero Gravity Room, the Reverse Room, and a spinning tunnel, all designed to challenge your senses and spark curiosity.

The museum opened relatively recently as part of a trend combining education with entertainment. It was established to bring people into contact with art and science in new ways and to show how easily our senses can be fooled.

The museum represents how art and science can come together to create fun and learning. Visitors find a space where creativity and curiosity are celebrated, and many people come with friends or family to share the experience of discovering how perception works.

The museum is located near the Opera and is easy to reach by metro via the Opéra or Richelieu-Drouot stations. Plan to spend about an hour and a half to explore the different exhibits at your own pace and take photos.

The Zero Gravity Room is one of the highlights where visitors feel as if they are floating, and they can record videos showing them defying gravity. This experience allows you to see the world from a completely new perspective without leaving the building.
