Designed to amuse, amaze, and stimulate the senses, the Museum of Illusions features more than 60 unique visual and educational installations appealing to locals and tourists of all ages. MOI was designed with two aims: to educate and to entertain. Our exhibits unveil the mechanics behind mind-bending illusions while also shocking the senses and playing on perception. The story behind the Museum of Illusions began in 2015 in Zagreb, Croatia, where the first museum was opened. As of today, there are over 37 museums globally! From 2D artistic illusions to fully immersive exhibits where you become the illusion, Museum of Illusions has it all!
