Great "museum", very funny and entertaining. Nice ilusions and lots of stuff to think about. Go with some friends and enjoy your time there.

Fun museum for both adults and kids. Very interactive and has a bunch of good photo opportunities. Only thing was that it was really crowded at times and we spent a lot of time just waiting.

The staff are extremely friendly and are dotted around the museum to help you make the most of the experience + get the best photos! Special thanks to Kseniia who took amazing photos for us & explained a lot of the trippy exhibits to us. The museum itself is super fun & unique - well worth a visit!

Some fun exhibits and great photo opportunities. The staff (particularly Ksenia) were helpful and wandered through the museum offering to take photos and giving advice about getting the ‘best’ photo. My one complaint is that they were (quietly) offering families of four half price discount the week we were there and if you weren’t a family of four, tough!! So I paid 100kr more for me and my son to explore the museum than the family of two parents and two children in front of us.

I really enjoyed my time here! Something a little different for all ages to enjoy. The staff are all super lovely and helpful. Yes some of the exhibits are old classics but that's the interesting part - learning about the better known and lesser known illusions and the history/science behind them. The museum could definitely do with a little restoration of the more "touched" exhibits which obviously experience wear and tear quite quickly, but I really enjoyed it nonetheless!

I enjoyed some exhibits more than others, and certain did not appear to be functioning. Overall, worthwhile. An hours is enough time to go through the whole museum.

My friend and I, both in our 40s, visited. Helpful staff and lots of installations that twisted our brains and made us laugh a lot. The two main attractions weren't working, but everything else was both interesting and fascinating. Highly recommend, even better if you're a group of three or more, since some of the installtions require two people doing something and a third taking pictures.

It was a nice thing to do in Oslo. Perhaps the place needs some upgrading and renovation but some parts where really interesting to try and observe. As a couple doing this, it was ok, pehaps this place is more directed towards kids and younger teenagers.

We came and the booking was full. Already then, we thought this was a good experience! I booked tickets for two hours later, and payed a lot of money for it. We were two adults and a child who´s 5 years old, and I payed 600+ NOK. The wardrobe is tiny, with very little space for clothes. So there were jackets on the floor even. The exhibision is not mind blowing. A lot of mirrors, some well known illusions and not so interactive as I got the feeling from the website. It was a bit dirty, worn and very hot. Had some things that were interesting, but overall, not worth the money!

Dirty and very worn installations. Some installations were not even working. This place needs maintenance! Staff is none existant, and in the rare moment they happened to be there, were very unhelpful and more interested on chatting with each other or hidding behind their phones. Easter weekend means you will receive a good flow of people, prepare in advance for this! The experience from the very beginning was chaotic, the cloakroom is very very small and worn. It lacks a proper locker room where you can safely leave your jackets, bags. No control whatsoever of who enters. The staff should try to direct people on how to use the installation, yes there was a 1 minute video giving instructions by the very entrance, and a wall full of them too. Yes, we understand is all about the use of technology by scanning a QRcode for instructions, and having teenages means we had masters of this.... But some of your attendees are not technology wizards and/ or have very small children and don't have time to read carefully the instructions. Here the staff could jump in and be more proactive and helpful. Since there were big crowds, courtesy is expected when taking turns on each installation, after all that's why booking a time slot was supposed to be about, but staff didn't respect the time slots and people sometimes need a staff member to remind them to wait for their turn and encourage them to follow instructions.
