Museum Of Illusions: Step into a World Where Nothing is as it Seems!

We would repeat ourselves, ‘nothing is what it seems’ and why should it be, when a team of highly skilled architects and designers from Croatia have used their skill sets along with science, mathematics, biology, and psychology to precisely fool your eye and brain. The exhibit falls under three categories, Master Illusions, Grand Illusions, and Optical Illusions. Designed to be enjoyed by all age groups, the museum allows the visitors to become part of the exhibits and click tons of pictures. The interactive exhibits are entertaining and educational as they push you to discover the science behind them. The 450 square meter venue includes attractions such as the Vortex Tunnel, the Chair Illusion, gravity-defying slanted room, the Infinity Room, and the Ames room. Unlike anything that currently exhibits in Dubai or elsewhere the Dubai Museum of Illusions is a must-watch albeit perplexing treat for the locals and the visitors. The museum is located in the middle of the Heritage Area at Al Seef, and they are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for all visitors.

Top Attractions

Photo Illusions

At least once in our lifetime, we all are guilty of clicking illusionistic pictures such as pinching the top of the Eiffel tower. Dubai Museum of illusions offers innumerable guilt free and envy-worthy pictures of you levitating, shrinking or over-sizing in Alice in Wonderland style.

Optical Illusions

The walls of the Museum carries a collection of bewildering images using color, light, and patterns that will trick your eyes into playing tricks with your brain. Just stare at them for 30 seconds or less and you will see things moving, shrinking, disappearing and what not.

Hologram

Holograms are images that create 3D illusions. The Dubai edition proudly boasts the largest collection of holograms images, which vary from holographic portraits to horror-grams to images that can appear and disappear before your eyes to images that transform from one kind to another.

The Mirage

You can’t visit the desert and miss one of its most famous phenomena, the Mirage. Though this is within the confines of the museum, the principle is the same. The projected object will look and feel like a real 3D object, even after you try and grab it and catch nothing..

Stereogram

A stereogram is a picture within a picture. The three-dimensional image puzzle has a hidden 3D object inside each of the unusual looking 2D pictures. You can only discover the 3D image if viewed correctly. It might take an attempt or two to figure out what is hidden in those pictures.
