MOI - Museo delle Illusioni Palermo
About This Museum
Did you know your brain can be convinced a stationary room is spinning around you? That's the kind of delightful cognitive betrayal you sign up for at the MOI in Palermo. It’s less a quiet hall of artifacts and more a playground for your perception, where nothing is quite as it seems. You'll find yourself laughing as you grow and shrink in an Ames room, question gravity in a vortex tunnel, and try to trust your own eyes again. It’s a place that proves reality is, frankly, negotiable.
Collection Highlights
The Infinity Room is a breathtaking crawl through endless reflections, while the Anti-Gravity Chamber lets you defy physics with a simple lean. Don't miss the holograms that shift and change as you walk past them, and be sure to grab a photo on the tilted 'Leaning Room' floor that will baffle your friends online.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away on Via Mariano Stabile, so keep an eye out for the sign. This isn't a hushed, don't-touch-anything kind of museum—it's hands-on, loud, and perfect for families or anyone needing to jolt their brain out of its routine.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a classic Palermitan building, the exterior gives little away with its traditional stone facade. Inside, however, the historic shell has been transformed into a series of stark white, brightly lit modern spaces designed specifically to trick the mind.
