Museum of Illusions Tábor

Museum of Illusions Tábor features hand-painted 3D paintings and interactive exhibits that challenge sensory perception, providing an engaging experience for visitors.

Planning your visit

The Tábor branch leans harder on hand-painted 3D work than most in the network — large trick-art scenes executed by painters, into which visitors step to complete the illusion, alongside the interactive perceptual exhibits.

Tábor itself is the reason to note this one. The town was founded in 1420 by the Hussites, the radical religious movement that preceded the Reformation by a century, and it was built deliberately as a fortress with a labyrinth of underground passages beneath the old town, some of which can be toured. The medieval centre with its irregular street plan — laid out to confuse attackers — is genuinely unusual.

The museum offers a light hour in a town whose principal interest is otherwise fifteenth-century religious warfare.

It sits centrally. Allow an hour. The main booking is an entry ticket. Current availability is listed below.
