Overview
Museum of Illusions® Santa Monica will play tricks on your mind and turn your perceptions on their head.
This collection of perspective-shifting illusion rooms, intriguing installations and images will leave you spellbound. You’ll soon learn how what you see and what you think you see are two very different things!
The Illusion rooms play with vision and perception and how the human brain processes these. Try your best to stay upright in the Tilted Room, spin through the Vortex Tunnel, and in the Reversed Room, take an upside-down walk on the ceiling.
The Installations exhibit is where you can sit at the Clone Table to hang out with your doppelgangers, swap eyes with your friends and even serve your head on a platter for some very memorable photos. Nothing here is quite what it seems!
The Bouchet chair makes you grow and shrink to hilarious sizes in an instant.
In the Images exhibit, there are optical illusions that play with your perceptions, like the spinning discs that trick the brain into seeing colors or 3D images in a black and white 2D rotating image.
Holograms disappear, reappear, and pop out of the frame and plenty of information about the hologram technology for the curious.
The Museum of Illusions® Santa Monica is a visual, sensory and educational experience that will turn your senses upside down.
