Museum of Illusions
The world’s fastest growing museum chain, the Museum of Illusions is an interactive, 21st century museum concept taking the world by storm. Having debuted in the Croatian capital of Zagreb in 2015, six further museums have subsequently opened across Europe and Asia - including the first Gulf branch in Muscat, Oman. Seven further openings are slated for 2018, including sites in New York, Toronto, Berlin and Dubai – home to the largest edition to date.
Designed to amuse, amaze and stimulate the senses, each Museum of Illusions offers a unique visual, educational and tactile experience. With exhibits based on science, mathematics, biology and psychology, every Museum of Illusions boasts physical and optical illusions and a playroom with didactic games and puzzles, while guests are openly encouraged to deviate from traditional museum etiquette.
Al Seef is a bustling 1.8-kilometre waterfront promenade by Meraas designed to reflect the role the unique natural waterway at Dubai creek has played in shaping the culture and heritage of the city, past and present. Located close to the Al Fahidi Historical District, the destination invites people to rediscover the heart of the city, where local fishermen, pearl-divers, weavers and tradesmen once came to trade. It is home to two distinct heritage contemporary areas connected by lively sikkas and alleyways filled with captivating shops, cafes, restaurants, and three hotels – all offering a broad range of entertainment experiences. Al Seef also has a marina with 56 berths for private yachts, a traditional souk, floating markets and an events plaza that hosts a full calendar of events and activities taking place along the water’s edge.
