Città delle illusioni
About This Museum
People flock to the Città delle illusioni not for dusty artifacts, but to have their perception of reality delightfully unraveled. You'll find yourself laughing as you try to walk a straight line in a tilted room, and staring in disbelief at holograms that seem to float right in front of your fingertips. It’s a place where kids are wide-eyed with wonder and adults are reminded that seeing shouldn't always be believing. I spent a solid hour just playing with the giant kaleidoscope, utterly mesmerized by the shifting patterns of light and color.
Collection Highlights
The Ames Room, which makes people appear to shrink and grow before your eyes; a captivating vortex tunnel that challenges your balance; and an infinity room that feels like stepping into another dimension.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away in the Cortile S. Giovanni degli Eremiti in Palermo – definitely use a map to find it. Book online if you can, especially on weekends, as it's a popular spot for families.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a historic building with classic Italian stonework, the contrast between the ancient exterior and the mind-bending modern exhibits inside is part of the fun.
