    • The Museum of Illusions in Bilbao is a unique space where optical art (Op Art), science, and visual perception are transformed into interactive experiences that surprise, entertain, and educate. Each room challenges the eye, awakens curiosity, and stimulates the creativity of children, young people, and adults.

      In addition to its immersive exhibits, the museum offers guided tours, educational workshops, interactive activities, and photography activities designed to integrate learning with fun. These resources allow you to explore concepts of optics, geometry, and perception, making each visit a memorable and educational experience.

      The museum is an ideal resource for schools, associations, clubs, and NGOs, which can organize one-off visits or monthly and annual tours tailored to different ages and educational needs. At the same time, it presents itself as a cultural and leisure alternative for local families and a must-see attraction for tourists visiting Bilbao, who will find an original, educational, and fun-filled experience within its galleries.

      More than just a tour, the Museum of Illusions in Bilbao is a cultural, educational, and recreational adventure that connects art and science, offering every visitor—student, family, or traveler—the opportunity to discover that reality can always be viewed differently.

    We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and it was closed. No sign, no explanation.

    Okay. Let's leave it at that. It's €15, and it's true that it's not well maintained. Some of the decorations are broken by people who don't take care of things, but it's true that the maintenance should be better. On the other hand, the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a great time.
