Museum of Illusions Zadar

Removed from Unnamed collection

The Museum of Illusions in Zadar is like stepping into a world where reality takes a backseat and your senses are in for a wild ride. Imagine yourself surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colors, optical illusions that boggle the mind, and holograms that seem almost too real. Ever wondered how it feels to sit on an illusionary chair or marvel at a face that appears strangely dented? Here, you can do just that. The table of clones will have you seeing double, while tricky rings and a head-on-the-table illusion will leave you scratching your head in wonder.

In this quirky museum, nothing is what it seems. The crooked room will challenge your sense of balance, making gravity seem like a mere suggestion. As you step into the room of mirrors, prepare to see yourself in ways you never imagined, as your reflection narrows and widens with each step. Climbing the ceiling? Yes, that's just another one of the mind-bending attractions here.

Zadar itself is a charming coastal town in Croatia, boasting beautiful sunsets and a rich history. While you're there, take a stroll along the waterfront and listen to the Sea Organ, an architectural sound art object that plays music with the motion of the waves. Trust me, it's a place where both your eyes and ears will be delighted.
