Description
Optical illusions and incredible spaces are waiting for visitors of the new Museum of Illusions in Berlin. It is located on Alexanderplatz, not far from the Television Tower, and home to 80 stunning exhibits. Nothing is what it seems at this extraordinary exhibition.
Experimenting to Your Heart's Content
At this museum, touching and participating is explicitly allowed and desired, as the illusions only come to life in interaction with people. Dwarfs turn into giants in mere seconds; heads with no bodies are laying around; people are being cloned, or find themselves stuck to the ceiling. At special photo spots you can take selfies and other unusual pictures to take a piece of your visit home with you.
Games Promote Motor Skills
Besides the extensive exhibition, the museum includes a play area with sustainable wooden toys by Dilemma Games. Tangrams, 3D puzzles, and riddles are not only fun, they help you train your motor skills as well. The games can be bought at the museum shop (entry ticket not required).
