There are many sights to see in Barcelona, and while some are famous, the Paradox Museum is a more offbeat activity that is still a museum. This museum showcases artistic and optical illusions, fun optical puzzles and is perfect for people who enjoy having fun in places that play with the senses.
A particularly enjoyable aspect of any visit is being able to explain how the exhibits are a game with the visitors’ visual perception. The Musée Paradox Barcelona takes you into a world where things are upside down, small is big and real is unreal. While navigating through hall installations, you may feel like you are shrinking, growing, or just hanging in the air. Every single exhibit is designed to make you look at things in a different way and you start to appreciate the way you view the environment.
An Event that Everyone Will Enjoy
The Paradox Museum is open to everyone and everyone would enjoy it, whether you’re traveling with family, friends or alone. Being more interactive rather than just standing in front of a piece and look at it, as it is in most other museums. It’s possible you will be posing in a mirror maze, capturing photos of yourself in a room that has confusing angles, or laughing at the objects that seem to shift when you look at them. It is a place where you are allowed to take pictures because every exhibit comes with a perfect frame that will give you great photos.
Here are some of the Paradox Museum:
Every space in the Paradox Museum feels intentional and each of them is designed to bring out a particular experience. Some rooms can make you feel like you are walking on walls, others reflect and thus duplicate the person or, for instance, make objects and people appear larger or smaller than they are. You may be in a room with furniture turned upside down, so it looks like everything is falling sideways or be in spaces where lighting tricks you into seeing shadows where there are none.
It is, however, hard not to mention the ‘infinity room,’ where mirrors are used to give the illusion of being in an endless space. Another interesting area can force some visitors to look bigger than others, just because of angles and design.
Why You Need to Visit the Paradox Museum
Whether you are into science, art, or just seeking for something entertaining to do in Barcelona the Paradox Museum will not disappoint you. It’s a place that teaches people how gullible we can be and it’s a great way to look at things from other people’s points of view. The museum also provides an educational component: It explains how the human brain works and how various optical illusions can show valuable information about the human perception.
If you are planning on visiting Barcelona and are looking for something to do that is not the typical tourist attraction then the Paradox Museum is great. It’s great fun for a change and guarantees that you will come up with some interesting tales to tell and beautiful pictures to share.
