Twist’s Illusions

At Twist Museum, every exhibit is designed to challenge the way you see the world.

TWIST – The Way I See Things

Every exhibit at Twist Museum has been carefully designed to challenge your perception, spark curiosity and make you question what you see. But have you ever wondered how the illusions actually work?

From rooms that make people appear to grow and shrink, to mind-bending mirrors, colour-changing environments and impossible perspectives, each illusion is rooted in fascinating scientific principles. Our collection of illusion explainer pages reveals the psychology, neuroscience and visual tricks behind some of Twist’s most popular experiences.

Whether you’re planning your visit, looking back on your favourite exhibits or simply curious about the science of perception, explore the guides below to discover what makes each illusion so convincing.
