Museum of Illusions Now Open in Johannesburg: A Mind-Bending Experience Awaits

Johannesburg just got a whole lot more magical. The highly anticipated Museum of Illusions Johannesburg is officially open in the heart of Rosebank, bringing with it a dazzling blend of science, psychology, art, and optical trickery that will challenge your senses and ignite your imagination.

This is the 53rd Museum of Illusions in the world, joining the ranks of global hotspots like New York, Paris, Dubai, and Milan. Located above Hamleys, next to EGG and across the bridge from Spur, it’s a one-of-a-kind destination that turns the idea of a traditional museum completely upside down – sometimes literally.

What to Expect

Step into a world where the rules of reality are rewritten. At the Museum of Illusions Johannesburg, interaction is not just allowed – it’s encouraged.

Here, you’ll find:

• Mind-bending illusions that play with perception

• Instagram-worthy installations that beg to be photographed

• Educational exhibits blending science, math, and psychology

• Hands-on fun for kids, teens, adults, and curious minds alike

Unlike most museums that say “no touching,” this one invites you to dive right in – and capture every surreal moment on camera or TikTok.

A New Kind of Learning: Edutainment at Its Best

The Museum of Illusions embraces the power of “edutainment” – an exciting fusion of learning and fun. It’s the perfect destination for:

• Family outings

• Unique date nights

• Birthday celebrations

• Bestie adventures

• Social media content creation

• School trips and team-building events

Each exhibit offers more than a visual thrill – it offers a chance to explore how your mind works, challenge your perspective, and see the world in a whole new way.
