Why go
Opened in 2021 in a restored 19th-century townhouse on Kote Afkhazi Street, this playful museum brings the global Museum of Illusions franchise to Georgia with a distinctly Tbilisi twist. The collection spans vortex tunnels, infinity rooms, and classic optical tricks that have entertained visitors from Zagreb to New York. Beyond the Instagram bait, it offers a genuine exploration of perception science—how the human brain constructs reality from conflicting visual cues. For travelers, it provides a lighthearted counterbalance to Georgia's weightier museums of Soviet history and ancient wine culture, plus rare air-conditioned refuge during Tbilisi's sweltering summer afternoons.
