Why is a visit to the Museum of Illusions the ideal gift?

Our interactive exhibition offers over 50 fascinating exhibits – from amazing installations and optical illusions to immersive rooms that appeal to all the senses. There are exciting discoveries for all ages, making a visit ideal for a family outing with children or grandparents, or with a group of friends.

Do you dare to walk through our famous vortex tunnel, which will throw you off balance? For children, this is a real highlight full of fun and wonder. While grandparents immerse themselves in our tricky brain teasers, mum and dad take funny souvenir photos in the symmetry room. Perfect moments to experience together and remember for a long time to come. A real experience gift for a day in Hamburg.

What original gift ideas await you in the museum shop?

After visiting us at the Museum of Illusions Hamburg, it's worth taking a detour to our museum shop. Here you'll find original souvenirs from Hamburg, tricky puzzles and creative gifts that will delight young and old alike.

For tinkerers and puzzle fans, there is a large selection of brain teasers and Dilemma Games. From classic tangrams to ‘impossible missions’, there is something for every level of difficulty. These games challenge the mind.

One of our most popular items is the Bending Pencil, which can be bent and knotted without breaking the lead and can still be used to write with. Another highlight is the Rainbow PinArt, which can be used to create colorful 3D impressions of hands or small objects. You can also find an XXL PinArt in our exhibition. It regularly causes laughter and you can't get enough of trying it out. The small version is therefore a perfect souvenir and is guaranteed to provide long-lasting fun.

If you're looking for something special, try the Mirror Cube, a tricky variation on the Rubik's Cube that is solved by shapes rather than colors. The Wonder Lamp adds a touch of magic: a glowing mini globe in which glitter and colors swirl gently – perfect as an atmospheric gift or night light.

Fidget toys such as the Infinity Cube or Desk Spinner are also great for playing, relaxing and concentrating, ideal for school, the office or at home. You'll also find postcards with optical illusions and many more fun and unexpected gift ideas.

How about a voucher for a shared experience?

Sometimes it's not easy to find the perfect gift. What do you give to people who have everything or don't want anything? With a voucher for the Museum of Illusions Hamburg, you can't go wrong. Instead of a traditional gift, you are giving an experience full of wonder, fun and unforgettable memories.

Our vouchers are flexible and suitable for families, couples, friends or grandparents. You can get the voucher card with envelope directly from us at the museum – perfect if you want to add something personal like the Bending Pencil. For last-minute shoppers, the voucher is also available online as a last-minute gift that you can print out.
