What to expect

Museum of Illusions Brussels

Located between Place de Brouckère and Place de la Monnaie in central Brussels, the Museum of Illusions Brussels is part of the internationally recognised Museum of Illusions network. The experience is self-guided, so you decide how long to spend in each room and which illusions to try first.

Features

• Access to all permanent exhibition areas gives you entry to over 60 interactive exhibits and immersive illusion rooms where reality is questioned and curiosity is encouraged. Photography is welcomed, so you can create extraordinary photo moments throughout the museum.
• Smart Playroom access with puzzles and games lets you dive into brain teasers, logic games, and other challenges that turn abstract science into hands-on fun. Small children can explore this space when accompanied by an adult.
• Museum team assistance and photo help are available throughout your visit, with staff on hand to explain how the illusions work and to help you capture memorable photos when you want to be in the shot.
• Exhibit explanations in English, French, Dutch, and German appear alongside the installations, helping you understand the principles behind each illusion without needing a guide or audio device.
• Free Wi-Fi is provided inside the venue, so you can stay connected, share your experience in real time, or access additional information while you explore.
