Overview
Located in the heart of London, the Museum of Illusions is a place where nothing is quite as it seems. Designed to challenge your perception and trick your senses, it features over 70 interactive exhibits that are guaranteed to leave you puzzled, intrigued and questioning what you’re seeing.
From dizzying infinity rooms and walk-in kaleidoscopes to a disorientating vortex tunnel, every space offers a fully immersive experience in optical illusion and playful deception. Shrink or grow inside the famous Ames Room, lose yourself in endless reflections, appear to defy gravity, or step into environments where the ground seems to shift beneath your feet.
Each illusion includes a simple explanation, helping you uncover the science behind the effect—even if your brain insists on disagreeing. Suitable for all ages, the Museum of Illusions makes for a fun, memorable stop on any London itinerary, whether you’re visiting with family, friends or anyone who enjoys a bit of surreal, mind-bending entertainment.

Vraiment génial
L’exposition était vraimenntt géniaalle même si un peu courte
Too much to see
CB29 ·We stopped here for our 10 year old. She LOVED it! There were definitely exhibits the adults liked too. Maybe it was a long day, but near the end, i was ready to leave. Ask the staff for help, especially with taking pics. The photos the staff posed us for were the best, no question!
Intéressant mais sans plus
Fouladoux ·Nous y avons été car elle faisait partie du pass, mais il faut être au moins deux et en groupe cela doit être mieux. Ça occupe la fin de journée.
It was ok, not really our thing
Cath ·Not really our thing but a great little activity to fill in time
Museum of Illusions London
Linda T ·I highly recommend it for kids of all ages. My 77 year old husband and I had a great time. Probably one of the 2 most laid back and enjoyable things we did in 11 days being in London for vacation. The other great thing was the Thames River cruise. The people that work at the museum are friendly and helpful. How some of the illusions are done is fascinating and fun to enjoy. If you have the time make sure to include it.
