London is getting another cool place to visit soon! The Paradox Museum, known for its optical illusions, is opening in Knightsbridge in the month of July. It’s filled with over 50 interactive exhibits and 25 immersive rooms, promising a fun experience for visitors.
In this museum, you can do all sorts of mind-bending activities. There are rooms where gravity seems to work in reverse, a mysterious sofa to figure out, a giant kaleidoscope to explore, and a tricky mirror maze to navigate. It’s like stepping into Willy Wonka’s factory!
This 90-minute experience is perfect for taking lots of photos to share on social media. After all, if you don’t post about it, did it really happen?
The Paradox Museum isn’t new – it started in 2022 and has branches all around the world, including Paris, Miami, Stockholm, and more. Now, London gets to join the list!
But not everyone was happy about the museum opening. Some people in Knightsbridge, a posh area of London, didn’t like the idea of having the museum near Harrods, a famous department store. They worried it might change the neighborhood’s vibe. However, officials approved the museum, saying it fits well in the area.
