Spend an hour or two at Prague’s Museum of Fantastic Illusions, where more than 150 interactive exhibits turn you into a giant, a floating object, or King Kong’s next adventure. Bring a charged phone, use the free lockers, and ask the friendly staff to help with tricky photos.
“A wonderful museum, very interesting and impressive, I definitely recommend visiting it.”
At IAM Illusion Art Museum Prague, you’ll see anamorphic art, reverse perspectives, optical reliefs, lenticular images, and augmented reality exhibits. Staff help with QR codes and photos. Plan on 30 to 90 minutes, bring a charged phone, and expect a compact, hands-on museum in central Prague.

Walk through a vortex tunnel, test the nail bed, take photos, and try the displays at your own pace. The mobile ticket is offered in English and admission is limited to 19 people.
“My college-aged kids loved this place! It was a nice break from the museum visits. This would be appropriate for families with younger kids, too!”

At Prague’s Lumia Gallery, you’ll walk through 1,400 square meters of digital art, from Mars and ocean scenes to galaxy projections, a mirror maze, LED mapping, and sound-responsive light. The exhibition suits adults and children, but avoid it if you have photosensitive epilepsy or vertigo.
“different experience for sure enjoyed the mirror room the best”
Visit Prague’s Museum of Communism at your own pace with a one-day admission ticket. Walk through reconstructed classrooms, bedrooms, workshops, and an interrogation room, then study 62 panels, original artifacts, photographs, films, and a 15-minute documentary on Czechoslovakia from 1948 to 1989.
“Very important museum to visit. Everyone should know what communism is: rule of stupidity, millions killed, distraction of culture, corruption. Go see what the comrades did to Czechia. Never forget!”
