Museum of Fantastic Illusions: Entry Ticket

Additional Information & Description

The Museum of Fantastic Illusions turns optical illusions into an interactive visit in Prague. The city’s largest museum of trick illusions puts you inside visual puzzles rather than leaving you to look at them from a distance. The appeal is hands-on: take part in scenes that challenge how you read size, space and what appears to be real.

Size-shifting seats and levitating objects

More than 150 installations and exhibits fill the museum, alongside colossal trick paintings. A magical chair appears to change your size, while levitating objects create another kind of visual surprise. These displays give you different effects to explore within the same visit, moving from altered proportions to objects that seem to defy gravity. The large-scale paintings add to the mix, making the artwork itself part of the illusion.

Put yourself in the picture

Photos and videos are part of the fun here. Pose as though your head has been served on a platter, or create an imagined encounter with King Kong, Charlie Chaplin or Albert Einstein. These scenes give your pictures a specific subject and a playful setup, rather than simply a backdrop. You become part of the visual joke, with the resulting image capturing an impossible situation.

What your entry ticket includes

The ticket includes admission to the Museum of Fantastic Illusions. Allow around one hour for the visit. That gives the museum a defined place in your Prague itinerary, with the time focused on its illusion exhibits and photographic scenes rather than a longer attraction visit.

Location and accessibility

The museum is at 31 Vodičkova in Prague. Wheelchair access is available. Tickets are delivered instantly, and smartphone tickets are accepted, so you can present your ticket digitally when you arrive.
