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

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
