Curious Chamarel
About This Museum
People flock to Curious Chamarel for one simple reason: it’s a place where nothing is quite as it seems, and that makes for a brilliantly fun day out. You'll find yourself questioning reality in rooms where water flows uphill and you can grow or shrink just by crossing the floor. After all that mind-bending fun, the garden cafe provides a lovely, stable spot for a coffee, while the gift shop is full of clever souvenirs. It’s less a traditional museum and more an unforgettable playground for your perception.
Collection Highlights
The main gallery is packed with interactive illusions; don't miss the mesmerizing Vortex Tunnel that will challenge your balance, and the Ames Room where people dramatically change size before your eyes.
Visitor Information
It's located in Baie du Cap, Chamarel—easy to pair with a trip to the nearby Seven Coloured Earths. Wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be moving around constantly to experience all the tricks.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is modern and unassuming from the outside, which makes the disorienting world you find inside all the more surprising.
