Museum of Illusions Toronto, Science museum in Front Street East, Toronto, Canada
Museum of Illusions Toronto is a science museum with more than 80 interactive installations based on optical tricks. The rooms contain mirrors, holographic displays, and other elements that alter how visitors see things.
The museum was founded to make scientific concepts accessible to the public through playful experiences. It belongs to an international network of similar venues operating in multiple locations.
The exhibits use optical tricks to show how the brain interprets and processes images in unexpected ways. Visitors experience firsthand how easily our perception can be fooled.
The museum is open daily and easily reached, with a portable ramp at the entrance for visitors with mobility needs. You should plan enough time to try out all the installations and explore the effects.
The Ames Room creates an effect where people appear to grow larger or smaller depending on their position in the specially designed space. This room is one of the museum's most popular spots for photos.
