Museums of Illusions are all the rage in the Balkan region, and it’s taking the rest of the world by storm. You can now find branches everywhere from New York to Shanghai, but if you want to explore the origins of the immersive and interactive museums, here’s where you should start.
Zagreb, Croatia
First branch of this successful museum franchise opened in the Croatian capital back in 2015, before expending to the rest of the world. It quickly became one of Zagreb’s must-see spots, and everyone who entered its doors left with a bunch of amazing photos.
Belgrade, Serbia
It was just a matter of time before Belgrade got their own Museum of Illusions, and both locals and tourists were head over heels once that moment finally came. The majority of the visual tricks and immersive rooms present in Zagreb can be found here, as well.
Ljubljana, Slovenia
All of the signature illusions that make the museums in Zagreb and Belgrade true sensations can also be found in Ljubljana – including the head on a plate trick and the gravity-defying upside-down room.
