The owner of the Museum of Illusions South Africa, Mark Collie, says since the Joburg Museum of Illusions opened last July, it has broken global attendance records. He is excited for Cape Town to take the illusion game to the next level. Collie says the Museum of Illusions was originally founded in Zagreb, Croatia in 2015. It quickly evolved into a global success and has welcomed over 12 million guests around the world.  He says each location is uniquely designed, offering its take on interactive exhibits that blend science and magic to create awe-inspiring, hands-on experiences.

He says the museum will offer visitors an extraordinary journey through the world of optical illusions, interactive installations, and immersive rooms that challenge perceptions and ignite curiosity. Collie added that you must forget everything you know about museum etiquette.

 

“At the Museum of Illusions Cape Town, visitors are encouraged to touch, play, explore, and take photos.”
