Do you maybe know what illusions are?

Illusions are a trick. They trick our brain and our senses into believing what we are seeing is the truth. Our brain gets tricked by illusions, usually by receiving too much detailed and different information at once so it shows us a different truth from the one that really appears on paper. Each brain works differently (to a degree) so every person perceives Illusions differently. Do you want to know how you will experience our illusions?

We are open every day from 9AM till 10PM. Pick the time that suits you best and explore the world of illusions.
