The destination is more than 1,022 square meters and is the largest Museum of Illusions in Asia, combining more than 50 interactive exhibits filled with visual discovery, sensory play, and edutainment for all ages and even your furry friends, as it’s a pet-friendly space. 

People can move, touch, experiment, and capture unexpected moments with friends and loved ones on the visit, which will easily lead the mind away from reality.

The Clone Room makes visitors' reflections multiply into a full squad of clones.

The Museum of Illusions Hong Kong turns perception into a journey of immersive discovery, featuring perspective-bending rooms, infinite reflections, sensory experiences and collaborative challenges. Visitors don’t just see from the sidelines, they become part of each illusion, to see, feel and explore how senses craft their perception of the world.

Inside the Ames Room, people dramatically grow or shrink as they walk from corner to corner.

The museum invites visitors to change their outlook on size, balance and spatial consciousness through its rooms, installations and images.

The Following Eyes at the entrance of the museum shows that humans are keenly interested in determining the direction of other people's gazes. The "Eyes" are following you no matter where you go. 

In addition to optical and sensory illusions, visitors can also test their minds with brain-teasing games that challenge logic, spatial awareness, and teamwork.

Staff members of the museum appear to defy gravity at an exhibit inspired by Hong Kong's restaurants. 

The museum is also creating four Hong Kong-exclusive experiences, featuring the city’s iconic tram, dim sum and street scenes.

The Museum of Illusions is the world’s largest privately owned chain of museums dedicated to optical illusions, interactive perception exhibits and science-based installations. It was founded in 2015 in Zagreb, Croatia by Roko Živković and Tomislav Pamuković.

Today the brand boasts over 70 locations in 28 countries across five continents and welcomes over 28 million visitors worldwide.
