About This Museum

Tucked away on the stately Kongresni trg in the heart of Ljubljana, this delightfully offbeat museum is a playground for your perception. Spread across two floors, it's packed with mind-bending installations that challenge what you think you see. You don't just look at the art here; you become part of it, posing for photos where you can appear to be hanging from the ceiling or shrinking to the size of a teacup. It’s a fantastic break from more traditional museums, guaranteed to spark laughter and disbelief in equal measure.

Collection Highlights

The real showstoppers are the full-scale illusion rooms, like the Ames Room where people seem to grow and shrink before your eyes, and the Vortex Tunnel—a rotating cylinder that will test your balance and make you question if the floor is still there.

Visitor Information

It's located right at Kongresni trg 13, easy to find while exploring the city center. Since it's very hands-on and photo-heavy, give yourself at least an hour to fully enjoy all the tricks. It's a huge hit with families, but honestly, anyone with a sense of fun will have a blast.

Architecture & Building

Housed in a typical elegant Ljubljana building that blends in with its historic surroundings, making the surreal experience inside all the more surprising.
