Museum van Illusies: playing with perception

Museum van Illusies in Maastricht offers interactive installations in Mosae Forum. Images, rooms and photo spots invite you to look at how viewpoint and expectation influence what you see.

Plan your visit ↗

Investigating an effect

Follow the instructions at an installation and, where permitted, change your position. The interesting moment may be precisely when you understand what makes the image seem to change.

A photo with attention

Photo spots are part of what is on offer. Besides taking pictures, take time to look at how the effect works, so that the visit becomes more than a series of photos without context.

Comparing together

Different visitors may notice different things about the same installation. Discuss what you see and then consult the explanation, within the available space and the museum’s instructions.

Before you go

Check holiday opening on Mondays and Tuesdays and the last admission time. Ask about the full wheelchair route; an adjusted rate does not mean that every part is equally easy to reach.
