It's a very small exhibition, so I think the prices are too high. The staff were friendly, the exhibition was good but short.

As we were there on a Thursday, there was no waiting time. It was super fun and interesting. An employee called Sofia was also very nice. She explained some of the "specials" to us in a very friendly and nice way. Thank you for that!

Why visit the Museum of Illusions in Berlin?
Hands-on interactive experiences
Unlike traditional, static displays, the Illuseum Berlin is all about interactivity. You can touch the objects and really feel the exhibits to understand what they’re all about. These 3-D projections feel very real up-close. Imagine walking into a museum and seeing a hologram meteor shower in front of you, as if you’re actually there! It’s seriously trippy!

What’s inside the Illusion Museum in Berlin?
Ames room
This room creates a mind-boggling illusion, where your people look like they’ve grown really big or shrunk in size, depending on where they are standing within the room. The cleverly distorted walls of the Ames room and the angles in which the furniture is arranged give off this effect.
Vortex tunnel
With its multiple swirls, patterns, and lighting, the Vortex tunnel feels like it is constantly in motion and however hard you try, you will lose balance as you make your way through it! Take a deep breath and enjoy the dizzying passageway.
Upside down room
Want to walk on the ceiling? Head to the Upside Down Room! Here it feels like entering an alternate universe, where everything is topsy-turvy. Remember, Stanger Things? Something like that but nicer! You will find furniture and fixtures hanging from the ceiling and its a good idea to snap these hilarious moments as you defy the laws of physics.
Mirror room
Watch yourself be multiplied in endless reflections in this room that has nearly every surface covered with mirrors and slant walls for a kaleidoscopic effect. As you witness the visual spectacle, you will feel you have been transported to another world altogether.
Infinity room
The Infinity room also features endless mirrors like the Mirror room, but here the walls, ceilings, and some parts of the floor are covered with mirrors, which creates the illusion of an endless space. The room offers a stunning display, which almost seems like it’s leading you into another dimension.
Anti-gravity room
Similar to the Ames room, the Anti-gravity room also features topsy-turvy displays, which help you strike poses that defy the laws of physics. The objects appear to hover in mid-air, creating an illusion of outer space. You can also climb across slanted walls and pretend to be a ninja!
Hologram illusions
If you ever wanted to shake hands with a long-gone celebrity or get lost in a swarming mass of asteroids and comets, head to the hologram illusions area of the Illusion Museum. These cutting-edge displays make use of light and technology to display life-life scenarios. You can play around with various types of 3-D projections.
Puzzles and mind games area
From mental math riddles to logical problem-solving, and intricate puzzles, this section of the Illuseum Museum teases everyone’s brains. Compete or join hands with your companions and make use of your critical thinking skills to solve these brain teasers. Any visitor can participate in these challenges, irrespective of their age and interests.
