About this tour
Walk through 700 square metres of optical tricks, scientific contraptions and visual puzzles in central Alicante. This 90-minute self-guided experience layers physics experiments with artistic installations—you'll manipulate shadows, draw with light, and navigate rooms designed to befuddle your sense of space. The collection refreshes annually as the team hunts for new illusions and scientific demonstrations worth adding to the permanent show.
Highlights
- Interactive light-drawing and shadow-play stations
- Upside-down rooms that scramble your spatial awareness
- Physics and optics displays explained without jargon
- Art installations blended with scientific riddles
- Photo opportunities throughout the exhibition space
- Fully accessible floors and wheelchair-friendly routes
What to expect
Expect to spend 90 minutes wandering galleries packed with hands-on exhibits. You'll encounter tilted rooms, perspective tricks, optical illusions and working models that demonstrate how light and physics can fool the eye. There's no strict route—move at your own pace, linger at experiments that intrigue you, and experiment with light-drawing tools or shadow-making corners. The museum staff circulate ready to explain how each installation works or chat about the science behind specific illusions. Most visitors find themselves doubling back to favourite exhibits once they grasp how they function.
Good to know
Arrive early to avoid crowds during peak hours. Bring a camera—the upside-down rooms and distorted mirrors make strong photos. Wear comfortable shoes as you'll be moving between rooms frequently. Prams and strollers are welcome, and service animals are permitted.
