Museum of Fantastic Illusions
The Museum of Fantastic Illusions in Prague offers over 150 interactive exhibits, allowing visitors to experience optical illusions and trick art firsthand.
Planning your visit
The Museum of Fantastic Illusions holds over 150 exhibits, which makes it one of the larger illusion attractions in a city that has several competing for the same visitors.
The mix leans toward painted trick art alongside the engineered rooms — large hand-painted scenes designed for forced perspective, into which visitors step to complete the image, plus mirrored spaces, holograms and perceptual puzzles.
Prague's concentration of these attractions is unusual, and they are genuinely difficult to distinguish from listings alone, so checking exhibit counts and photographs before booking is worthwhile if you intend to visit only one.
The practical case is the same as elsewhere: an indoor hour, effective with children, in a city where the old town is crowded and the weather frequently poor outside summer.
Allow an hour. The main booking is an entry ticket. Current availability is shown below.
