Cape Town is getting a new museum

As far as cultural offerings go, Cape Town is home to many. Now, the Mother City is set to add yet another item to its drawcard, with an exciting new attraction – the Museum of Illusions, scheduled to open on Kloof Street on Saturday, 31 May 2025.

As reported by Cape Town Etc, the museum will be the second Museum of Illusions in South Africa, the third on the African continent, and the 61st worldwide.

This, of course, follows the extreme success of the Johannesburg Museum of Illusions, which opened in July 2024.

Museum of Illusions comes to cape town

The new Cape Town museum will offer a fascinating journey through the worlds of optical illusions, interactive installations as well as immersive rooms.

Museum of Illusions South Africa owner Mark Collie said that Cape Town’s creativity and curiosity made it the perfect home for their next sensory playground.

“After the overwhelming response in Johannesburg, we’re incredibly excited to bring the experience to the Mother City. This isn’t just a museum; it’s a space where science, art, and wonder collide to challenge how we see the world and ourselves.” Collie said as per Cape Town Etc.
