Am I dreaming - or what exactly am I seeing?
There are plenty of rainy Sundays at the moment. Nevertheless, staying on the sofa doesn't really help. So get out of your comfort zone and into the adventure! There are plenty of exciting museums in this country.
But for once we don't want to marvel at taxidermy or be awestruck by oil paintings from the 16th century. The small but excellent WOW Museum at Werdmühlestrasse 10 in the middle of Zurich offers something completely different and lots of fun, where children (and those who somehow still feel that way) also get their money's worth.
The WOW Museum is full of fun and amazing sensory and perceptual illusions. If you go in here, you can expect anything. The world is upside down here. Distances, proportions and spatial relationships get out of hand, the eye sees things that don't actually exist. An important prop here is your smartphone (make sure you bring your cell phone or iPad!), because everything you see cannot really be explained, is photographed and documented. The extremely friendly WOW staff are on hand to provide support when it comes to finding the best angle of view or arranging the most suitable set-up. The museum combines learning with fun and impressively demonstrates that not everything we see is actually the case; there is not always a right or wrong.
Due to its great popularity, we recommend booking/ticketing in advance, more information can be found at www.wow-museum.ch
