Déjà Vu Museum at a Glance
Hands-on illusions and perspective tricks designed for play and photos. Expect a compact, walk-through experience with set-piece rooms and rotating setups.
What it is
An interactive museum focused on optical illusions and modern, Instagram-friendly installations. Think “be part of the scene.”
Who it’s for
Friends, couples, and families who enjoy playful spaces, quick creativity, and light editing afterward.
What You’ll Experience
A mix of spatial illusions and bold visuals. Here are typical crowd-pleasers.
Tilted Room
Gravity-defying poses made easy—align your body with the frame, not the floor.
Infinity Mirrors
Endless reflections for portraits; step slightly off-center to avoid blocking the light.
Forced Perspective Sets
Shrink or grow by placement; markers on the floor help you hit the angle quickly.
Color & Light Rooms
Neon gradients and graphic walls—great for silhouettes and minimal poses.
How to Visit
A little planning = better photos and fewer queues.
Tickets
Secure a timed entry via Tiqets—handy on weekends and holidays.
Best time
Earlier slots = fewer people in frame. Weekdays are calmer; aim for opening or late afternoon shoulder time.
Pacing
Plan ~60–90 minutes. Move ahead of clusters and loop back to a room for a clean shot if needed.
Gear
Phone is enough. Clean the lens, lock exposure when shooting bright installs, bring a power bank.
Photo Tips
Quick wins for scroll-stopping shots.
Angles
Kneel or hold the phone at chest height for stronger lines in tilted rooms.
People placement
Use the floor markers for forced perspective; one person close to the lens, one far—then swap.
Reflections
Step slightly sideways to hide your own reflection; watch for fingerprints on mirrors.
Outfits
Solid colors pop against graphic backgrounds; avoid busy patterns that fight the scene.
Family & Accessibility Notes
Designed for participation, not silence—great with kids and multigenerational groups.
With kids
Set simple “one pose each” rules per room to keep the flow. Hand sanitizer and tissues help with smudges.
Accessibility
Flat floors in most areas; some sets may require steps or specific angles. Staff are used to helping with photos.
Easy Pairings
Balance playful indoor time with a classic Berlin walk.
Icons & River
Pair with a short walk past nearby landmarks or a Spree-side stroll for golden hour portraits.
