What You Can See and Do at Paradox Museum Barcelona

The museum has more than 70 interactive exhibits designed to challenge your perception and make you question what you see. Some installations use mirrors, perspective, movement and optical illusions to create effects that seem to defy the laws of physics. Some of the exhibits you may encounter include:

• Zero Gravity Room – Experiment with movement and perspective in a room designed to make you feel as though gravity has disappeared.
• Ames Room – See how perspective can make one person appear much taller or smaller than another.
• Vortex Tunnel – Walk through a rotating tunnel designed to challenge your sense of balance and orientation.
• Infinity Mirror – Step into a room of mirrors that creates the impression of endless reflections.
• Symmetry Room – Use mirrors and positioning to create unusual photographic illusions.
• Camouflage Room – Experiment with perspective and blending into your surroundings.
• Paradox Table – Take photos and explore an optical illusion that plays with your perception of size and perspective.

The exhibits can change, so not every installation is guaranteed to be available during every visit.
