The Paradox Museum in Paris continues to seduce us with its latest additions! The world's largest museum of mental trickery unveils 5 new immersive experiences to turn our heads upside down.

Head for the Grands Boulevards, in Paris's 9th arrondissement, near FlyView and La tête dans les nuages, to discover this spot that's expanding to our delight. This is the European flagship for the concept, which has no intention of stopping there, as new addresses are opening all over the world.

The program at the Paradox Museum in Paris includes almost a hundred experiences, for families and friends alike, to push back the limits of reality. Among these many unusual experiences, more than a dozen are exclusive to the site! This means you can experience installations designed and created exclusively for the French capital that don't exist in Oslo or Barcelona.

The 5 new features

In the Zero Gravity Room, sensations of weightlessness come to life. Floating like an astronaut becomes possible thanks to a science-fiction-inspired décor. This concept, already adopted by Hollywood blockbusters and music videos, offers a unique experience exclusive to France.
The Paradox Museum 's Water Paradox defies perception: drops of water appear to float or rise against the current under the effect of a stroboscopic light effect that deceives the human eye. The striking illusion questions our relationship with reality.
With Butterflies, a ballet of butterfly shadows comes to life under the subtle effect of light variations. This poetic immersion evokes childhood memories and invites us on a journey between dream and optical illusion.
In the Red & Blue Room, artist Insane51 creates a living kaleidoscope where colors intertwine to form 3D visual illusions. A fascinating immersion in the world of contrast and color perception.
Finally, the Seesaw Paradox transforms a simple swing into a visual challenge. Two people swing on either side of a mirror, synchronizing their movements without ever crossing paths. An installation that questions the connection between reality and illusion.

These five new experiences push back the limits of perception and promise a fascinating plunge into the art of illusion.

Surprising decors turn your reality upside down, you're fooled by the various trompe l'œil and interactivity is the order of the day. Can you sort out the real from the fake?

Paradox Museum Paris unveils an immersive tour lasting around 1h30. Of course, as a talented photographer, you're welcome to spend more time here, as you'll be able to take plenty of unusual photos (and videos) to share your experience on social networks. Note that there's a code locker where you can put your things and coats, which comes in handy when you want to take a photo. Note also that the number of people on the courses is limited, so online booking is highly recommended to avoid getting stuck. Finally, a word of advice: make sure you recharge your camera and mobile phone batteries, and take along an external battery - it might come in handy!

After the walk, or before it, or even without it, as the café is open-access with its own entrance, you can head for Hans & Gretel's new café, which has something to tempt both young and old gourmets... Sweets, waffles, ice creams and decadent doughnuts are all on the menu...
