In a building with a total area of ​​more than 400 sq. meters, fun games teach about vision, perception, the human brain and science, making it easier to understand why the eyes see things that the brain cannot perceive. The exhibits are based on mathematics, biology and psychology. They deceive and confuse the visitors' beliefs in their own senses, while at the same time amaze and educate them. The game room with exciting and educational games and puzzles is yet another surprise.
