Step into a world where nothing makes sense yet everything feels real. A must-visit for all ages, we'll inspire and challenge you with ultimate creativity and questionning. At the Paradox Museum, we tickle your mind for fun. Come explore, and let paradoxes redefine your reality!

ZERO GRAVITY

Ever dreamed of seeing yourself floating weightlessly like an astronaut in a dimension where gravity's laws don't apply?
Welcome to the Zero Gravity Room, where your dreams take flight! This room, straight out of a sci-fi movie, defies the laws of physics and gives you an otherworldly adventure that will shift your perspective like never before.
Paradox Sofa

Magic, reality or a glitch in the system?
The Paradox Sofa gives the impression that someone’s body has gone to pieces. Is it a real conspiracy or just a couple of ‘partners in crime’ having some fun vegging out on the couch? You’ll have to come see it to believe it
PARADOX TUNNEL

In here walking straight feels impossible!
The Paradox Tunnel is a walkthrough, room size exhibit that has an extremely disruptive effect on your perception of gravitational direction. Once inside, a simple task like walking straight seems impossible. It actually feels like your world is twisting around you - totally mind bending!
INFINITY ROOM

Enter the mesmerizing Infinity Room, where mirrors stretch your imagination to infinity and beyond! Step inside this captivating space, and you find yourself surrounded by endless reflections that seem to go on forever.
