If you are planning to visit the amazing city of Toledo in the near future, you will probably be thinking of Art by Greco, the Santo Domingo Monastery, or the famous Jewish and Christian monuments. There is another truly unique attraction you should visit.
The Iluziona Museum is fast becoming a major attraction in Toledo, offering a fun way to learn about the art of illusion, perfect for the whole family.
This is a unique attraction you wouldn't expect to find in a historic city, but it is well worth visiting and a welcome break from the other tourist landmarks in Toledo.
A Museum Where You Are the Protagonist
This fascinating museum offers 22 rooms and spaces using some of Spain’s best-known art, symbols, and culture, and all created in 3D.
These works use the “trompe l'oeil” technique, which means “deceiving the eye” in French. It is said that the technique goes back to ancient Greece when the famous artist Zeuxis painted some grapes that were so realistic the birds tried to eat them off the canvas.
The Trompe l'oeil technique creates an illusion of 3D from 2D objects and has also been used on many top Hollywood films, including Harry Potter.
There are also rooms that have a selection of optical illusions that will test your brain to the max.
Popular creations within the museum include the Office of Cervantes and The Devil's Dead End.
Helpful staff located throughout the museum will help you understand each of the creations with useful information and assistance.
Photos To Amaze Your Friends
The museum owners have created a multitude of creative photographic scenes that are proving to be lots of fun for all the family, and not only the younger members.
Immortalize yourself photographed with some of Spain´s most well-known characters and cultural sites. Find yourself trapped in the wine glass of Salvador Dali or trying to escape the clutches Of Don Quijote´s famous giants.
Visitors are able to create an infinite number of stunning photos whilst composing original scenes to share on social media to impress their friends and family.
