Paradox Museum London The Paradox Museum is located across the street from Harrods in Knightsbridge. While traditional museums preserve and display historical or artistic objects, the Paradox Museum brings science, art, and illusion together through an interactive adventure. As the facade appears to defy physics, the architecture of the building hints at its unconventional interior. The format was launched in Oslo in 2022 by Miltos Kambourides and Sakis Tanimanidis, and has since expanded to cities including Paris, Barcelona, Shanghai, and Las Vegas. At first sight, the formula seems straightforward, but, as these paradoxes demonstrate, it is highly effective at creating special effects and captivating visitors. There are smaller optical illusions displayed between the large ones throughout the entire space. The exhibition includes signs showing how to capture the illusion with a photo, as well as staff who can assist with anything else you might need. Many of the optical illusions have QR codes nearby that you can scan to find out more information about them, which is a really effective idea. The Paradox Museum in London is an innovative addition to the city's cultural landscape. In this way, it redefines the museum experience, transforming it from one of passive observation to one of active participation. It won't matter if you're a local or a tourist, a trip to the Paradox Museum will take you on an unforgettable journey through a world where nothing is as it seems. www.paradoxmuseumlondon.com Amazing Destinations 168
