If you're a fan of trippy, immersive experiences, you're probably also going to be a fan of the Museum of Illusions, a magical place that's home to mind-bending rooms, strange optical illusions and bizarre holograms that make you question reality in the most delightful way possible.
With more than 60 locations in 28 countries around the world, the Museum of Illusions has been a roaring, global success since its inception in 2015. And now for the first time ever, it's coming to Australia. To Sydney's CBD, to be totally exact.
With a brand-new George Street location that will span 9,000 feet, Aussie magic-seekers will get the chance to dance through a wild set of 80 interactive exhibitions come December.
What's inside Sydney's Museum of Illusions?
We've got it on good authority that you'll find some pretty amazing treasures inside the Museum's mysterious walls. From gravity defying rooms and gigantic 3D illusions to weird holograms, it's clear this is a museum experience that'll excite most folks, from curious kids to museum-loving adults.
Excitingly, the very first Australian edition of the Museum of Illusions will also house bespoke Sydney and Aussie-inspired rooms and features that you won't (obviously) be able to see anywhere else on the planet.
This includes the 'Reversed Room', an immersive space inspired by a classic Australian pub, the 'Building Illusion' that's designed to reflect some of Sydney's most iconic architecture, and 'Following Eyes', an exhibit that's inspired by the sunscreen-slapping and beach-swimming of Sydney beaches.
Designed for families, the science-enthusiasts and the perpetually curious, the Museum of Illusions looks like it's shaping up to be a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, and we're excited to have our minds blown, one trippy interactive room at a time.
You can stay up to date with the opening dates, new exhibits and all things Illusions on their website.
