There are over 70+ mind-boggling and logic-defying exhibitions in the Paradox Museum. Here are some of the unmissable highlights:
Turn your world topsy-turvy in the Upside Down Room. Defy gravity and make the impossible look easy. Challenge your senses as you walk on the 'ceiling' or on the ‘walls’ — truly, a mind-bending experience!
A world of visual trickery — in the Ames Room people shrink and grow in a real-life optical illusion. The magic of perspective is on full display. It also allows you to take some really hilarious pictures.
Test your balance and sense of direction. Journey through a tunnel that's all about messing with your mind. It's like stepping into a funhouse where nothing is as it seems. You might even question your own reflection.
The Paradox Piano is a unique piano that you can play with your voice! Simply sing or speak into the microphone and the keys will dance on their own. This interactive exhibit is a great way to have some fun and create your own music.
Sofa surfing takes on a whole new meaning in the Paradox Sofa. Sit down, and prepare to be 'unseated' by a seating arrangement that messes with your idea of comfort.
The perfect place to bring home a souvenir from your visit to the Paradox Museum. From puzzles to paradox-themed merchandise, the boutique has something for everyone.
