Optical illusions, upside-down rooms, holograms and much more await you in the Museum of Illusions Hamburg. Step into a fascinating world of illusions!

Are you ready for aha effects? The Museum of Illusions is an imaginative and magical place for all ages. You will quickly notice: Nothing here is as it seems. And that's exactly what the Museum of Illusions in Hamburg wants to show its visitors. Much of what you see world is not what it looks like. So, you better look twice. The exhibition rooms will show you how quickly our brains can be deceived or tricked.

Fun is guaranteed!

Rooms upside down, confusing mirror worlds and bottomless pits are just a few of the exhibition rooms that illustrate the physics of the world and its mysteries. You should definitely have your mobile phone ready at hand and charged, because here you will surely get the most volatile photos.

Unsolvable? Try yourself in the Clever Room! 

In the clever game room your brain cells are really challenged: Solve puzzles, knots and mathematical tricks that offer almost every visitor a real challenge. The Museum of Illusions Hamburg is not only a fun destination, but also a fitness centre for the brain.

For its fifth anniversary in 2024, the museum has expanded its exhibition so that visitors can look forward to some spectacular new features. The redesign once again emphasises the museum's commitment to always presenting guests with exciting and innovative illusions.
