About House of Illusions
The House of Illusions, on Congress Square, is a museum of fun and learning where you test the limits of your own perception. Around 70 exhibits, optical illusions and holograms, from Rubin’s vase to Einstein’s hollow face, play tricks with space and sight. Our advice: a good rainy-day plan with children, and a fun one without them.
