Paradox Museum Mumbai
About This Museum
Believe it or not, Mumbai's Paradox Museum is tucked away in a heritage building that predates Indian independence. It’s a place where your eyes simply won't believe what your brain knows is impossible. You'll find yourself walking through an Ames Room where people magically shrink and grow, or getting lost in a vortex tunnel that spins while you stand perfectly still. It’s less a quiet hall of artifacts and more a playground for your perception, making it a fantastic spot for families and anyone with a curious mind.
Collection Highlights
The exhibits are all about interactive illusion. Highlights include the Tilted Room, where water defies gravity to flow uphill, and the Beuchet Chair, which plays clever tricks with perspective to make people of different sizes appear equal.
Visitor Information
You'll find it on H. Somani Marg in Fort, tucked behind the Bombay Gymkhana near the cathedral school. It's wise to book your tickets online, especially for weekends, as the place gets wonderfully busy.
Architecture & Building
Housed in the stately, old-world Shreeniwas House, a classic example of early 20th-century Bombay architecture with high ceilings and a facade that whispers stories of the city's past.
