Museum of Illusions Tours

Become part of the artwork at the Museum of Illusions in Barcelona, one of the first such attractions in Europe. More than 70 large-scale 3D paintings on walls and floors create eye-popping scenes that allow you to literally put yourself into the picture, using optical illusions to create a backdrop for photographs of your own.
The Basics
Take a ride aboard the Titanic, dance the flamenco, or make your escape from zombies. The Museum of Illusions offers a range of scenes to put yourself into, including those iconic to Catalonia, such as standing in front of La Sagrada Familia and Park Güell, as well as the opportunity to become part of artworks by Spanish artists such as Salvador Dalí and Pablo Picasso.
Extend your visit by booking a multiple attractions pass for the Big Fun Museum, which includes the Museum of Illusions. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time to avoid waiting in line. Or, opt to visit as part of a hop-on hop-off bus tour to see other Barcelona attractions at your leisure.
