About

Opened in 2016 and located in the city’s Old Town, the museum spans 600 square metres filled with optical illusions, interactive exhibits, and mind-bending installations.

The museum blends classical riddles with scientific inventions, offering an educational experience that’s as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. Each year, new exhibits are added, keeping the collection fresh and engaging. Friendly staff are on hand to explain the mechanics behind the illusions and share stories that deepen the experience.
