In need of a short escape from reality? We all know how that feels. Well, perhaps a trip to the brand new Paradox Museum Helsinki is just what the doctor ordered. This wacky immersive experience is packed with optical illusions that’ll have your mind whirring and pushing aside any thoughts of the real world (in fact you’ll be questioning reality entirely by the time you leave).
Open now in Helsinki, Paradox Museum is no stranger to the continent, or indeed others – having seen success all across Europe, Asia, and North America. The weird and wonderful attraction has welcomed more than 2 million visitors worldwide, but it’s now right here on your doorstep.
What can you expect at Paradox Museum Helsinki?
Paradox Museum Helsinki boasts over 40 different exhibits; some of which are just for admiring (and tilting your head at), while others invite you to become part of the illusions yourselves. The Zero Gravity Room, for example, will have you floating about weightlessly, seemingly defying the laws of physics. It’s the first of its kind to come to the city, so definitely worth a visit for any budding astronauts.
The museum is suitable for all ages, and is both educational as well as just plain fun. Some installations will keep you guessing, and others may be explained by scientific insights.
Naturally for such a visual experience, there are photo opportunities aplenty – with staff on hand to help capture all of the bonkers moments. There is also an on-site gift shop at the end of the experience, so you can leave with any number of madcap momentos.
