What’s Special About the Museum of Illusions in Dubai?

The Museum of Illusions displays how the human brain perceives the outside world. The entire museum spans 4,845 square feet, featuring 80 interactive exhibits, including optical illusions, stereograms, and holograms. There is also a playroom full of puzzles and brainteasers designed to challenge your mind. Some of the interesting attractions in the museum include:

Optical Illusions

The museum has a huge number of images that use colour and light to fool the visitors’ minds. Some of these images are shapeshifters designed to play with your mind. In fact, observing them for just 30 seconds can make them change, diminish, move, or disappear. For instance, the Tilted Room gives you an illusion that everything’s titled.

The Ames Room

The Ames Room is a magical space where visitors appear as giants in one corner of the room but turn into dwarves at another end of the same room.

The Vortex Tunnel

This room is designed to test the balancing abilities of the mind. Visitors entering the room will be tricked as if walking through a rotating cylinder. Soon enough, you will lose your balance and even fall. The fear of losing balance and your head spinning is real.

Holograms

These are 3D illusory images and objects where objects come and disappear and then come back in different forms to confuse and surprise visitors.

Chair Illusion

This attraction is based on the Law of Proportion and Perception. When sitting on the chair, visitors look tiny while the person next to it is a different height.
