On behalf of the Museum of Illusions Maastricht, we’re thrilled to invite you to our Teachers' Day event on Monday, November 18th from 16:00 to 18:00. This is a unique opportunity for educators to explore our museum, learn more about how we support schools and students, and see firsthand how our exhibits can enhance the learning experience.
Discover Learning Through Play and Science
At the Museum of Illusions, we focus on playful learning and discovery, making education both fun and engaging for visitors of all ages. Our diverse collection includes optical illusions, interactive installations, brainteasers, and 3D puzzles, all rooted in a range of scientific disciplines. This interactive approach is designed to deepen students’ understanding of perception, physics, mathematics, psychology, biology, sociology, and art—providing a fresh perspective that complements standard teaching modules.
