Museum of Illusions Vienna
Explore optical illusions, holograms, and interactive exhibits at the Museum of Illusions Vienna, offering a fun experience for all ages.
Planning your visit
The Vienna branch offers holograms, stereograms and interactive perceptual exhibits in a city whose museum culture is among the heaviest in Europe — the Kunsthistorisches, the Albertina, the Belvedere and the MuseumsQuartier all demand sustained attention.
That contrast is the point. Vienna with children can become a sequence of galleries requiring quiet and concentration, and an hour of participatory illusion breaks that pattern usefully.
The exhibits follow the brand format, with explanations of the visual mechanisms at each installation.
The central location makes it easy to slot between other plans. Note that Vienna also has other interactive attractions in the same register, so checking what a given ticket covers is worthwhile. Allow an hour. The main booking is an admission ticket. Current availability is listed below.
