The Edinburgh museum called The Camera Obscura and World of Illusions is a place, where miracle means a lot. Here, visitors have an opportunity to see the real inexplicable miracles. The interactive museum shows its visitors an amazing collection of color, light and optical illusions.
The mirror maze, in which everyone will be able to experience a so-called inner compass, attracts great interest. The swirling colored tube is visited by only the bravest people, confident in their vestibular apparatus. In the mysterious rooms visitors could be on opposite sides of the mysterious world. One of them literally turns into a giant, and the other becomes a midget. This is just part of the incredible surprises prepared by the unusual museum in Edinburgh.
The unique exposition is located on six floors of rooms. The magnificent viewing platform is set at the museum roof. The original edifice held historical exposition. It was founded in 1835 on one of the most picturesque streets of the old town. Since founding the museum collection has being constantly expanded and updated. Some exhibits remain unchanged for over 150 years. Not long ago, the museum's collection has replenished with old photos of Edinburgh, its attractions and architectural symbols. Anyone who is going to visit one of the most unusual museums in the world has to remember that the world around us is full of illusions. Here everyone can become sure about that.
