Johannesburg has joined the ranks of cities such as Cairo, Chicago, Dallas, Istanbul, Kuala Lumpur, Milan, and New York with the unveiling of South Africa’s first Museum of Illusions. Located in Rosebank, this new attraction boasts over 60 exhibits, illusions, and immersive experiences. The concept, which first launched in Zagreb, Croatia in 2015, has become a global phenomenon with over 12 million visitors to date.

The Museum of Illusions in Johannesburg takes visitors on a memorable sensory journey through mind-bending installations that leverage art, science, math, and psychology in unique ways.

As part of the largest private chain of such museums globally, the Museum of Illusions now operates over 50 museums worldwide, in cities like Dubai, New York, Paris, Milan, and Shanghai.
