Get lost in a mirror maze or dance on the ceiling at this tricky new venue
At Miami’s newest museum, you can’t believe everything you see. Literally.
Paradox Museum Miami is now open in Wynwood, right next to Mister 01
Extraordinary Pizza and around the corner from Oasis Wynwood. Its main goal is not to show you reality but to tweak your senses, awaken your curiosity — and also give you plenty of ammunition for your social media accounts.
The indoor venue, which is 11,000 square feet, offers 70 interactive exhibits based on paradox that skew your perspective, like the Paradox Tunnel, in which you have to balance yourself when you’re walking through it. You may also find yourself standing on the ceiling or on a chandelier or wandering
through a maze of mirrors.
In other words, yes. You’re going to be taking a lot of photos and video. But the experience, which lasts around 60 to 90 minutes, isn’t just about improving your TikTok presence.
Installations might also offer more, like The Paradox Piano, which lets guests ask it questions. The piano answers, then creates a unique melody. Consider it your first piano concerto.
General manager Sergio Xiques calls the venue “our edutainment gallery.”
“We are thrilled to be bringing our interactive mind-bending installations to one of the most creative neighborhoods in the country,” he said.
The experience is open to kids and grown-ups, but anyone 16 and under has to be accompanied by an adult.
