No, Twist Museum is not an in-depth exploration of that sixties dance craze, it’s all about the way we perceive the world around us, or, as their acronym-born name states, ‘The Way I See Things’. Located on Oxford Street, the museum is a collaboration with artists, neuroscientists and philosophers – so you can be sure that the limits of your imagination, and reality as you know it, are about to be pushed. Get ready to enter a world of illusions with over 80 interactive exhibits which will not only test your brain, but provide an endless amount of amazing photo opportunities.
What can you expect at the Twist Museum?
If the Rorschach test has taught us anything, it’s that the way we see the world is a unique, curious and mind-boggling thing. Twist Museum has taken that thought and ran with it in a vibrant, exciting and brilliantly brain-melting fashion.
A playground for all ages to enjoy, the museum includes hypnotising tunnels of colour, neon lights which respond to your body movements and the chance to stick your head into a kaleidoscope. Plus, there’s even the chance for those on the shorter side to loom over their towering friend for once. It’s like all our wild and ponderous daydreams have been brought to life.
You can leave your perception of reality at the door, this is the place where all your senses will be thrown in a blender. You’ll be left questioning which way is up, what colours appear where and wait, are the walls really moving? Each element is a spectacular fusion of science and art which play upon shapes, colour, sound, heat and much, much more. None of your senses are safe.
What’s more, over the Easter holidays, you can experience an extra dose of the extraordinary with magic shows every day. Marvin’s Magic will be putting on four shows each day from April 7-21, treating you to a spellbinding experience that will leave all the family in awe. Tickets are £8 per person in addition to your ticket – be sure to book in early to avoid missing out.
Whether you bring all the family, duck in for a solo trip or even fancy going to juice up your Instagram feed with your photographer friend, Twist Museum is a goldmine of fun activities and experiences. Follow in the footsteps of hundreds of visitors before you and check it out for yourself.
