Museum of Illusions

The Museum of Illusions presents over 60 interactive exhibits featuring optical illusions, holograms, and mind-bending displays that challenge visitors' perceptions and encourage hands-on exploration of visual phenomena.

Established as part of the global Museum of Illusions network that began in Zagreb, Croatia in 2015, the Johannesburg location joined the worldwide expansion of educational entertainment venues focused on perception and cognitive science.

The museum serves as a popular destination for families, school groups, and tourists, emphasizing interactive learning experiences that combine science, psychology, and art to create engaging educational entertainment for all ages.

Open Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with extended hours until 10:00 PM on weekends, the museum accepts cashless payments and recommends advance online booking for guaranteed entry.

Visitors can experience gravity-defying rooms, distorted perspective chambers, and interactive mirror mazes that create disorienting effects, allowing guests to capture memorable photographs while exploring altered perception experiences.
