The Museum of Illusions is at 16 Knyaginya Maria Luiza Boulevard in central Sofia, right next to the remains of the Triangular Tower of Serdica. It belongs to an international chain of museums founded in Lithuania.
The museum covers about 400 m² across several rooms: a history room with pictures, a room of optical illusions, a room with phosphorescent wallpaper where you can draw with light or leave your shadow on the wall, and an upside-down room. The exhibits play with optical tricks and perspective and are made to be touched and photographed.
Check the museum’s website for opening hours and tickets.
With children: the museum suits families and takes school groups.
