Located in central Zagreb, the Museum of Illusions is a recent addition to Zagreb museums. Opened in 2015, it is a rather small but a fun place to visit. There are around 70 exhibits spread across two rooms. The installations at the museum are designed to create optical illusions. There are exhibits which defy gravity; where the water runs uphill and there are visual tricks that present macabre reality of serving someone’s head on a tray. The museum is not only a visual delight but also a place for great learning about the techniques behind these whacky illusions. Explore the world of illusions and experience the impossible. Get mesmerized by all the brain teasers and optical tricks displayed in various installations. It is easy to get lost in the perceived reality. If you are travelling with kids, then the Museum of Illusions is a must-visit place. The installations at the museum will leave the young and grownups equally intrigued. The favourite thing for the kids is to climb up onto the ceiling and take a picture in the Rotated Room!
