Planning your visit

The Museum of Illusions Tbilisi opened in 2018 in the city centre as part of the international chain, with over 80 exhibits: holograms, stereograms, an Ames room, a rotated room, an infinity mirror space, and tables of logic and construction puzzles. The educational framing — brief explanations of the perceptual mechanisms each illusion exploits — sits alongside installations designed primarily for photographs.

For Tbilisi specifically it fills a practical gap. The city's principal attractions are outdoors and clustered in the old town, and options for children or for bad weather are limited, so this works better as part of a family itinerary here than the same museum might elsewhere.

A visit takes around an hour, and the central position means it slots easily around the sulphur baths, Narikala fortress and the old town.

Bookable options include entry tickets and combined tickets pairing the museum with a digital exhibition at the same venue. Weekday slots are quieter; weekends bring queues at the marked photo positions in the popular rooms. Current availability is shown below.
