Museum of Illusions | Copenhagen
About This Museum
Forget everything you think you know about a typical, quiet museum visit. The Museum of Illusions in Copenhagen is a vibrant, brain-tickling playground where nothing is quite as it seems. You'll find yourself questioning your own eyes from the moment you step inside, surrounded by rooms that defy physics and art that plays tricks on your mind. It’s less about observing artifacts and more about becoming part of the exhibit yourself. This is hands-down one of the most fun and interactive afternoons you can have in the city, especially if you're with friends.
Collection Highlights
Get ready to snap photos of yourself holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa or escaping a giant vortex in the Vortex Tunnel. The Ames Room will make you shrink and grow before your eyes, while the Infinity Room's endless reflections create pure magic. Don't miss the clever holograms and puzzles scattered throughout that challenge your perception in the best way possible.
Visitor Information
It's right on Frederiksberggade, a super central pedestrian street, so it's easy to pop into after some shopping. Book online to skip the queues, especially on weekends—this place is a magnet for families and groups. You'll probably need about 90 minutes to see everything without rushing.
Architecture & Building
Tucked into a classic Copenhagen building on a bustling shopping street, the exterior gives little away. Inside, it's a modern, brightly lit space designed purely for fun and interaction, with white walls that make all the colorful illusions pop.
