Vienna Museum of Illusions Ticket

Experience the world of illusions
in 12 grand illusion rooms

The Museum of Illusions is a museum where you experience optical illusions that make what you see feel different from reality. Explore 12 grand illusion rooms and interactive exhibits full of amazing visual effects, and enjoy fun discoveries with family and friends. The museum is located in the historic Baroque Palais Esterházy, where composer Joseph Haydn once worked, so you visit in a space with high vaulted ceilings and traditional windows.

Take special photos
in the Reverse Room and Ames Room

In the Reverse Room, you can take photos in gravity-defying poses as if hanging from the ceiling. In the Ames Room, watch your friends seem to grow or shrink as they move around the room. Be sure to bring a smartphone or camera so you can become part of the illusions and capture the moment.

Test your balance in the Vortex Tunnel
and the kaleidoscope room

Test your sense of balance as you cross the spinning Vortex Tunnel. In the walk-in kaleidoscope, experience a space full of colorful patterns and endless reflections. You can also enjoy a variety of immersive exhibits, including the colorful Color Room.

Try Vienna-inspired illusions
and wooden puzzles

Take a photo that makes you look like you are climbing the facade of Otto Wagner's famous Majolikahaus, and in the Following Eyes illusion, feel as if Empress Elisabeth's gaze follows you around the room. During your visit, you can also take on tricky wooden puzzles and brain games that make you think from a different angle.
