Illusion Rooms
Do your eyes decieve you? Illusion Rooms let you bend reality and laugh at your senses. Prepare to question what’s real and what’s imagined.

- The Reversed Room: Gravity? Who needs it! Hang upside down, walk “on the ceiling” and experience a playful twist on everyday reality.
- The Tilted Room: A topsy-turvy playground for your eyes! Slanted walls and floors make ordinary movements feel extraordinary.
Installations
The installations are here to tickle your brain and prank your senses. From cloning antics to gravity-defying fun, step in and see the ordinary turn extraordinary.
- Cloning Table: Fancy seeing yourself multiplied? The Cloning Table plays tricks on the eye and makes you the star of your own doppelgänger show.
- Head on a Platter: Snap the ultimate conversation starter photo. Nothing says fun like seeing yourself served on a plate and yes, it’s completely safe (we promise!).
- Beuchet Chair: A family favourite! Watch kids grow taller, adults shrink and everyone marvel at the playful distortions of reality.
Images
Ever thought your brain could trick you without warning? Prepare for images that tease and double-check what you think you know. Perception has never been this entertaining.
- Holograms: Witness 3D wonders that vanish and reappear, leap from their frames and transform before your eyes.
