Need to escape the mundane for an hour or two? Then, make a beeline for the Paradox Museum in Stockholm for a weird-but-wonderful break from reality. This immersive experience boasts various optical illusions that’ll have you questioning your own perception.
The museum, which has had much success across Europe, Asia, and North America – and attracted more than 2 million visitors worldwide – is a must-visit when you’re in the city centre.
What can you expect at Paradox Museum Stockholm?
A fun and vibrant experience, Paradox Museum Stockholm boasts over 70 different installations. Some you observe, while others you step right into and become part of the illusion yourself. The museum is designed to be both educational and delightful for visitors in equal measure; some illusions are accompanied by scientific insights.
The museum has appeared in 10 cities around the globe already; however, the rooms differ from location to location. While we don’t want to give away all the surprises, the Stockholm experience will feature The Ames Room, in which you’ll appear to tower over even your tallest companions; The Infinity Room, which seems to go on forever; and a sofa that has – quite literally – side-splitting results.
Paradox Museum Stockholm is suitable for all ages. There are a plethora of photo ops throughout – and there are staff on site to help you capture the illusions in the best way. Of course, there is a store at the end of the experience, so you can leave with a memento alongside your many snaps.
As previously mentioned, the museum is centrally located; you can very easily combine your visit with a shopping outing, a cafe stop, or even a stroll in the park to reflect on what you’ve seen at the museum.
