The Paradox Museum is coming to Paris, and it's not doing things by halves, as it's the largest museum of mental trickery to open anywhere in the world. Having already conquered Miami, Oslo and Stockholm, this temple to illusion has now set up shop just a stone's throw from the Opéra, in 1700 m2 of space on 3 levels.
In Paris, we're already familiar with the Musée de l'illusion and its multi-sensory trail, Sensas, theimmersive and sensoryexperience, and Science Experiences and its immersive trail. Now, a newcomer has joined the ranks of surprising museums with amusing experiences.
Head for the Grands Boulevards, in Paris's 9th arrondissement, near FlyView or La tête dans les nuages, to discover this new spot open since May 18, 2023. This is the European flagship for the concept, which has no intention of stopping there, as a dozen other addresses are already in the pipeline for this year alone.
Organizer's offer:
For a visit between 12.15 and 1.30 pm, the family pack is €75 instead of €88!

The program at the Paradox Museum in Paris includes no fewer than 90 experiences, to be enjoyed with family or friends, to push back the limits of reality. More than a dozen of these unusual experiences are exclusive to the site! You can experience installations designed and created exclusively for the French capital, and which don't exist in Oslo or Barcelona.
These 90 experiences will evolve over time, and other illusions and deceptions will be added in the future. In the meantime, let's discover some of these paradoxical experiences.
Surprising decors turn your reality upside down, you're fooled by the various trompe l'oeil and interactivity is the order of the day. Will you be able to sort out the real from the fake?
Paradox Museum Paris unveils an immersive tour lasting around 1h30. Of course, as a talented photographer, you're welcome to spend more time here, as you'll be able to take plenty of unusual photos (and videos) to share your experience on social networks.
Last but not least, a special feature of the Paradox Muséum de Paris is the coffee you can enjoy at the end of the tour! The perfect way to recover from our emotions with a cup of coffee and a sweet treat. There's also a code locker where you can put your things and coats, which comes in handy when you want to take a photo.
Note also that the number of people on the courses is limited, so online booking is highly recommended to avoid getting stuck.
Finally, a word of advice: recharge your camera and phone batteries well, and take an external battery with you - it might come in handy!
