Visitors can, in turn, dive into a collection of holograms, take a closer look at each optical illusion and carefully observe each exhibit.

Starting Friday, February 6th, the Paris Museum of Illusions transforms into a magical wonderland for its Nocturnes Magiques evenings.

Or how the expression "not to be in one's element" is hijacked to surprise visitors, who will find themselves in a funny posture! But I promise it won't hurt!

A spectacular illusion that will transport you into a three-dimensional space that's sure to make your head spin.
