Traveler reviews
Mirela Olteanu
★★★★★6 months agoIt is an interesting museum with several elements, paintings, images that create optical illusions. You can take some beautiful and interesting pictures in a few frames. The most interesting thing for me was a tunnel in which an image moved sideways all around, giving you the impression that the bridge you were standing on was practically moving and it made you a little dizzy, making you hold on tightly to the bar so as not to fall. However, for the entrance fee paid, there is quite a bit to see, it is a relatively small museum, I would have liked there to have been more to see and do, especially for children.

The museum has two floors filled with fun and fascinating optical illusions perfect for families and children to explore, learn, and enjoy. A great, entertaining experience for all ages!
