Plans are underway for a new Museum of Illusions to open in Birmingham city centre. An application has been submitted to Birmingham City Council seeking to change the use of a vacant shop unit, previously occupied by Pavilions, located on High Street. The proposal aims to establish an ‘interactive edutainment museum’ that will combine educational elements with entertaining optical illusions and interactive exhibits. This new attraction hopes to offer a unique experience for both local residents and visitors, adding to the cultural and entertainment offerings within the city centre. The development reflects a growing trend of immersive museums that encourage visitor engagement through interactive displays.
