In Miami, Stockholm, London and Barcelona, the Paradox Museum alchemy is at work all over the world. In Paris, it’s on the Boulevard des Italiens that the museum has decided to set up shop with the same promise: to wipe the slate clean of all our certainties and at the same time give our imaginations free rein… Here, everything is illusion… or almost.
🫠This summer, Paradox Museum Paris invites you to spend a cool summer in an air-conditioned space among new seasonal decorations, and an ice cream parlour at the end of the experience. It’s a scorcher in Paris, but Hansel & Gretel has something to refresh you!🍨
🌀And once a month, on Saturday evenings from 7.30pm to midnight, at Midnight Paradox, immerse yourself in an atmosphere that’s both poetic and intriguing. During these nocturnal sessions, you’ll witness incredible artistic performances by magicians, paradox storytellers, or even hypnotists!🌀
The Paradox Museum in Paris: gold for the curious
Right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the 9th arrondissement sits a truly out-of-the-ordinary place. Part unusual trail, part immersive experience and part scientific stroll, the Paradox Museum welcomes Parisians of all ages and invites them to discover the unsuspected potential of each of our senses. 1,700 m2, 90 experiences over 3 floors: these are the exceptional dimensions of the Paradox Museum. One thing’s for sure: with this size, illusion has a stronghold in the capital.
Once through the doors, we’re plunged straight into the heart of the matter. With its incredible scenery and intelligently orchestrated tour, Paradox offers us an experience lasting almost 1.5 hours, totally disconnected from reality. Optical illusions, light and mirror effects and paradoxical rooms: your brain will be unsettled by all manner of colorful experiments and surprises.
From the simplest scientific phenomena to the most complex puzzles, a true sensory adventure awaits you inside this crazy address. Whether you’re here to enjoy a moment with the family, to discover the secrets of the most advanced scientific experiments, or simply to be curious, the Paradox Museum has something for everyone.
An unforgettable experience, all the more so as the museum is perfectly suited to photography. And you’ll leave with plenty of memories, thanks to the many trompe-l’œil along the way… The Paradox Museum, where illusion and entertainment come together!
