Knowing how to play with yourself

An hour to have fun with a "museum" that plays with perspectives. Entering a drawing, because that is what it is. Images that seem distorted if looked at from the right spot allow you to be the protagonist in something hilarious. Cost perhaps a bit excessive, but in the end you leave happy and that is priceless.

Not worth the time or money

The museum was a bit of a disappointment as it was only a couple things to look at. Only took us about 30 minutes. Also they didn’t accept my pre purchased tickets so I had to pay again

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your visit did not meet your expectations. Our museum features more than 40 paintings created by a unique artist, and we regret that only a few exhibits stood out to you. If your tickets were purchased in advance through our official website, they allow you to enter the museum at any time convenient for you. In this case, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and would be happy to review your situation and arrange a refund if you send us your purchase confirmation by email. If your tickets were purchased through third-party platforms, please note that each provider has its own terms and conditions, which are usually indicated at the time of purchase. In any case, we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

A great escape into an Instagrammable museum

We visited the Museum of Illusions with my 8-year-old daughter, her friend, and her friend’s mom (who’s also a friend of mine), and we had an absolutely amazing time! It’s a playful, mind-bending experience that’s perfect for kids and adults alike. From the moment we walked in, the exhibits had us laughing, posing, and trying to figure out how things worked. The illusions are not only clever and immersive, but also incredibly photogenic: we ended up with a whole gallery of fun, very Instagrammable pictures! It’s a great way to spend a couple of hours in a different kind of setting: creative, surprising, and full of “wow” moments. Highly recommended if you’re looking for something interactive and entertaining to do as a family or with friends!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your review! We're glad to know your experience at our Museum was positive! We hope to see you again soon!!!

The Museum of Illusions in Barcelona is a unique and fun experience, perfect for all ages. Located in the heart of the city, it offers an interactive journey through a series of optical illusions and 3D murals that seem to come to life before your eyes. The museum includes about 60 murals, and for each one is marked exactly where to position themselves to take the photo and make it as realistic as possible. The scenes range from fantastical settings to comic situations, such as riding a dragon, crossing a suspension bridge or escaping a dinosaur. It is a haven for selfie lovers and those looking for creative content for social media. The entrance fee is 15 euros and children pay over 5 years. There is the possibility to buy together the Big Fun ticket that I recommend and I will leave a review in your space, a few steps from this museum, whose ticket would be 22.5 euros each, but if bought together the cost drops to 27 euros for both. Also for those who buy the Barcelona card (which includes tram bus and metro trips in the city + 25 free museums and a discount in the entrance fees of some tourist attractions including these), the total price for both museums is 25 euros each.

Museum of Illusions Barcelona

It's definitely not worth it. I believed in something even interactive, instead just murals to take pictures. I would understand if the ticket cost a few euros. Nice staff, but invest that money in something else.

Operator response

Good evening! Thanks for your visit! Our museum has 3 floors and 8 different halls: an inverted house, a house of fear, a house of Guinness records, etc.. We are sincerely sorry that you did not find anything interesting in such a large museum!

1st time in spain

Upon walking in, you don’t really know what to expect. The instructions don’t really tell you that there are pictures up about what you’re supposed to do. But, we figured it out along the way. When you see the paintings, it may look basic, but when it’s on camera, it looks cool! We had a lot of fun! It was something low key to do just to get around Spain. i enjoyed the memories I was able to make with my group
