Museum of Illusions Chicago, a one-of-a-kind boutique museum, offers a mind-bending experience that will ignite your curiosity and startle your senses. With more than 60 hands-on exhibits, optical illusions, and immersive rooms, guests will be challenged to change their perspective and see the world through a different lens. The museum is the perfect “edutainment” destination for all ages and is conveniently located in the heart of the Loop, Chicago’s central business district, which is filled with landmarks, parks, and world-class restaurants, theaters, and shopping.
“Just steps away from Millennium Park, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Chicago Cultural Center with world-class shopping, theater, and dining around every corner, you’re in the center of it all at Museum of Illusions,” says Stacy Stec, director of sales and marketing at Museum of Illusions Chicago. “Come experience the impossible at MOI Chicago!”
