The WOW Museum

We Love Illusions!

Illusions are fascinating phenomena that challenge the limits of our perception. They invite us to question the world around us. They arise when our senses, particularly our vision, are deceived by certain stimuli in a way that goes beyond our expectations or our logical understanding of reality. Examples include optical and auditory illusions or sensory perceptions that deceive us. The WOW Museum in Zurich is a vibrant and dynamic space that combines art, science, and technology to create unique and immersive experiences. Thanks to our central location near Zurich's main train station, it attracts visitors from all over the world. Across three floors, in twelve theme rooms and the Wonder Lab, we offer a variety of installations designed to challenge the perception and senses of visitors. From optical illusions to fascinating light effects and interactive artworks that come to life through movement and interaction of the visitors, the museum offers a wide range of experiences that spark curiosity and stimulate thought.

Edutainment for Everyone

A key aspect of the WOW Museum is the promotion of communal experience. Our guests are encouraged to interact with the exhibits, thereby creating their own illusions. This interactive component not only fosters creativity and experimentation but also enables the creation of unique and unforgettable moments that can be shared with friends, family, or colleagues. The museum serves not just as a platform for personal discovery, but also for communal interaction and the exchange of experiences across all age groups. Additionally, we offer the opportunity to explore the museum with your own smartphone or tablet, allowing for innovative ways to discover, document, and share. Still not enough? In Zurich, we also offer a City Rally, a city walk that goes beyond the museum's walls. Explore new perspectives of Zurich's Old Town on your smartphone, where illusions become a playful experience.The idea for the museum arose from the desire to create a place in the city center that combines fun, learning, culture, and immersive art. The vision was to make edutainment accessible to everyone. In collaboration with the Aroma agency, the WOW Museum finally became a reality, opening its doors to visitors in 2020. In the summer of 2024, we're taking a step further and planning to open a new museum in the heart of Munich.

The WOW Museum is intended to be a unique place of inspiration and creative development that takes people of all ages into the fascinating world of illusions.

How it all began..., the wow idea.

Inspired by a world tour with their children, Vanessa and Matthias Kammermann came up with the idea of opening a museum in Zurich dedicated to optical illusions.

The WOW Concept

From the initial idea to the fully developed plan: Vanessa and Matthias, with great passion and the support of their partners, gradually brought the WOW Museum into existence.

Originally scheduled for 1st April, COVID-19 delayed the opening of the first WOW Museum until 10th June. Despite challenges, the museum in Zurich eventually opened its doors and welcomed its first visitors.

WOW City Rally

The WOW City Rally, created in response to high demand, expanded the museum experience in 2021. The first rally took place in the summer of 2022 and now includes five tours catering to different audiences.

WOW-Moments

By 2022, the museum had solidified its status as a cultural highlight and a centre for creative exploration, with over 200,000 visitors and six awards. This success encouraged the founders to consider further expansion in 2023.

The successful evolution of the concept will culminate in the opening of a second location in the heart of Munich, close to Marienplatz, at the end of June 2024. This new venue will offer additional illusions, new spaces, and art that deceives the senses.
