Illusion Antwerpen (illusion Museum)
About This Museum
Tucked away on the grand Frankrijklei, just a stone's throw from Antwerp's bustling Meir shopping street, you'll find a place that plays tricks on your eyes and delights your inner child. This isn't your typical Antwerp museum filled with Old Masters; it's a vibrant, hands-on playground of perception where nothing is quite as it seems. One moment you're shrinking to the size of a toy, and the next you're defying gravity in a tilted room. It’s pure, unadulterated fun that will have you questioning your own senses and laughing all the way through.
Collection Highlights
You can't miss the Ames Room, where friends grow and shrink before your eyes, or the Vortex Tunnel—a spinning cylinder that'll challenge your balance and make you cling to the handrail. Be sure to take a photo in the Infinity Room, a kaleidoscope of endless reflections that's an absolute hit on social media.
Visitor Information
It's right at Frankrijklei 18, super easy to find. Booking your tickets online ahead of time is a smart move, especially on weekends when families and groups flock here. You'll want to set aside a good hour or two to properly experience all the mind-bending exhibits.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in a handsome, classic Antwerp townhouse that blends seamlessly with its stately neighbours on the boulevard, making the whimsical world inside all the more surprising.
