Opened on September 15th, 2018, The Museum of Illusions is the new tourist attraction of Athens. Popular among locals and foreigners alike, the museum offers a breathtaking experience. The initiative is part of a global body. The first Museum of Illusions opened in 2015. The first step of the project was taken in Zagreb, Croatia. After, 18 more cities around the world became home to the Museum of Illusions.
What is in the Museum of Illusions?
The Museum of Illusions hosts more than 80 exhibits. Some of these are merely events to watch while others are interactive. The museum created by Sakis Tanimanidis and Miltos Kambouridis is a unique place where visitors of all ages can enjoy.
The main idea of the museum is to show how perception can be altered through science. The area where reality is only momentary forces people to diversify their observation techniques. Both children and adults enjoy the deceiving exhibits in the museum.
The building is full of interactive puzzles, holograms, and games. In line with the artistic streams of the 21st century, the Museum of Illusions allows its visitors to interact and play with it. People in this museum can talk loudly and take photographs at every corner. It is an organic space where creativity is at the forefront.
People can also organize events or host meetings at the museum. These activities, of course, are subject to reservation.
