Museo De Las Ilusiones

The Museum of Illusions in Tenerife has become one of the most original experiences in Santa Cruz, housed in the iconic building of a former tobacco factory. Here, perception is not a certainty, but the starting point of a journey where the visual deceives, the tactile astonishes, and the intellectual awakens curiosity. In its more than 700 m² of permanent exhibition, the laws of physics and optics are explored through architectural illusions, conceptual art, 3D projections, mapping, and holograms, all presented with a modern and vibrant aesthetic.

The museum invites you to touch, participate, and photograph every moment: you can draw with light, portray sparkling shadows, pose upside down in a room like Spiderman, or challenge your eyes with figures that change depending on the angle. The experience is designed for everyone: families, curious young people, science lovers, or people simply looking for a different afternoon. In addition, a friendly and knowledgeable team accompanies each space, explaining the trick behind each illusion and ensuring you're moved and understand the how and why.

What sets it apart from other similar museums is its balance of entertainment and education. It's not just about posing for photos: each exhibit is designed to make you ask questions, play with your perception, and understand more about how your mind works.

Locals and visitors alike enjoy it, whether as part of a plan to visit Santa Cruz or as the perfect excuse to discover the city from a different perspective. The Museum of Illusions is more than a museum; it's a creative challenge for the senses and a fun reminder that reality can be much less rigid than we thought.
