Oxford Illusion Museum
About

The Oxford Illusion Museum, located in a slender Grade II‑listed building on the High Street opposite the Covered Market, offers a playful and immersive journey into the world of visual trickery. Spread across four floors and 22 themed rooms, it invites visitors to step into an upside‑down room, lose themselves in a mirror maze, marvel at an infinity dodecahedron, or tumble down an Alice in Wonderland‑inspired rabbit hole. Opened in 2025, the museum blends historic architecture dating from 1790 with contemporary, interactive design, creating spaces that are as photogenic as they are mind‑bending. From glowing wands to inversion goggles, each installation encourages hands‑on exploration and plenty of memorable snapshots. Designed for all ages, it is as much about shared laughter and curiosity as it is about optical science, making it a distinctive addition to Oxford’s cultural scene and a must‑visit for those seeking something unexpected in the city’s historic heart.
