Rotated Room
Rotated Room

If you want to see something incredibly amazing that will alter your perspective, head towards the Rotated Room. Turn around at full 90 degrees, and get an excellent backdrop for the most outstanding photos imaginable.

Optical Illusions
Optical Illusions

The Optical Illusion’s walls feature a puzzling collection of images that use color, light, and patterns to trick your eyes into playing mind games with your brain. These optical illusions serve as a reminder that our senses are flawed and that our perception of the world is frequently distorted. Simply staring at them for 30 seconds or less will reveal things shrinking, moving, disappearing, and so on.

Hologram
Hologram

The Museum of Illusion tickets also give you access to the Holograms exhibit, which portray images that create three-dimensional illusions. In their most basic form, they can already be found in our daily lives on bank notes and credit cards. But because the museum stands out in its optical magic, everything will seem different.

The Dubai edition is proud to have the largest collection of hologram images, which range from holographic portraits to horror-grams, images that appear and disappear before your eyes, and images that transform from one type to another.

Swap Noses
Swap Noses

This one is the most amazing, and somewhat funny exhibit that you’ll witness in this museum. You have to stand on opposite sides of the mirror and align your face with the person on the other side of the mirror. You’ll see how both your noses align, and create a different nose altogether.

Kaleidoscope
Kaleidoscope

Enter the amazing world of kaleidoscopes, and experience the fun in your very own way. Instead of playing around with colorful papers and other props, visitors here create vivid patterns in this room of the Museum of Illusion.

Head on the Platter
Head on the Platter

If you’ve ever wanted to put someone's head on a tray, your wish will get granted in this Head on a Platter exhibit. Here you can discover the illusion of a hidden body, an illusion so brilliantly created that even when you know where the rest of the body is hidden, seeing just ahead on the platter still surprises you.

The Chair Illusions
The Chair Illusions

The Chair Illusions exhibit is based on psychologist Jean Beuchet's chair illusion and allows you to experiment with perception laws in which the person sitting on the chair appears to be much smaller than the person standing nearby.

Basically, this exhibit distorts the laws of proportion and manipulates your point of view. It's incredible how a person's perceived size is affected by the objects around it. Simply click from the correct angle to take home a brilliantly puzzling photo illusion featuring a tiny you sitting on a chair.

Ames Room
Ames Room

This beautiful but casual-looking room has been expertly distorted to create an amazing visual illusion. Dwarfs and giants do not only exist in fairy tales but they exist in this room too. You'll be either a giant or a dwarf depending on which corner of the room you stand in. Witness how a person walking back and forth grows or shrinks right in front of your eyes.

Museum of Illusions Dubai
Anti-Gravity Room

The Anti-Gravity Room, as the name implies, makes you appear to be floating in space or even upside down, depending on where you stand. This room is a brain teaser that will have you questioning the laws of physics! In fact, you won't be able to tell whether you're standing on a flat or slanted surface. The famous Michael Jackson pose should undoubtedly be photographed here.
