Museum of Illusions, Interactive science museum in Monastiraki, Greece.
The Museum of Illusions in Athens presents over 60 optical illusions across 15 rooms in a 500-square-meter two-story building.
The current museum structure served as an inn throughout the 19th century before its transformation into the Museum of Illusions in September 2018.
The museum educates visitors about brain perception and cognitive processes through experiential exhibits that demonstrate how minds interpret visual information.
The museum maintains daily operations from 10:00 to 22:00, offering guests access to exhibits, a playroom with 30 dilemma games, and a gift shop.
The Playroom section contains mathematical puzzles, building blocks, and impossible knots that challenge visitors to solve complex spatial and logical problems.
