Paradox Museum Miami translates guests in the 21st century, a fun house with stunning illusions – Mynorthwest

Miami (AP) – Art Gallery, Scientific Exhibition and 21st Century Funhouse, Paradox Museum Miami takes guests on an optical illusions and other Enigmas aimed at the Instagram era.

The 11,000 square feet (1,000 square meters), located in the modern Miami Arts neighborhood, has more than 70 exhibits that challenge the imagination, said CEO Samantha Empliers.

“It is driven and flowing between periods of highly tactile and interactive exhibition pieces and completely immersive photos, where you become the paradox yourself and move away with a really fun and unique content on social media,” Empliers said.

The Paradox Museum has more than a dozen seats in North America, Europe and Asia. The location in Miami, which opened in 2022, is the first in North America, followed by Las Vegas and New Jersey.

“Every paradox is uniquely linked to its community,” Empliers said. “So as you walk during the experience, you will notice different topics and art installations that directly reflect not only Miami but also the Wynwood community specifically.”

Many of the exhibits in the Paradox Museum return to the old carnival funnels, such as the mirror maze, the rotating tunnel and the room upside down. The difference is that the Paradox Museum explains mathematics and science behind every illusion.

“We are a top destination for a Pre-K trip through college students,” Empliers said. “We have a complete curriculum of educational activities to do before, during and after the visit to expand this educational scope.”

Like any museum, Paradox Museum plans to update its exhibits to return visitors.

“We will not be the same space in a year to three years,” Empliers said. “We will engage in new technology and lay down additional discoveries from above.”

The Museum of Paradox Miami presented a new Zero gravity room in the last fall. Guests step into a giant, slowly moving vertical wheel designed to look like a space station interior after placing their phones on the rotating camera. The rotation camera is synchronized with the rotating wheel so that the video appears to show guests walking on the wall and ceiling, like something from “2001: Space Odyssey”.

The Paradox Museum is part of a great trend of immersive art that has opened around the world over the past decade. Examples include a company called Meow Wolf with several seats in the Western United States, as well as a submersible exhibition of Van Gogh, which has been touring North America, Europe and Asia since 2017. Superblue Miami opened in 2021, including interactive and experienced art.

“The immersive experiences around the world are growing in popularity and are emerging more and more,” Empliers said. “And it is exciting to see that this trend of interactive and immersive experiences that allows guests to become part of the art, part of the installation itself.”

Visitors usually take 60 to 90 minutes to pass through Paradox Museum. Tickets usually cost $ 26 for adults and teens and $ 20 for children.

The 17 -year -old Fasundo Ildraz and his family came to Miami from Argentina to catch a cruise and had a few days to check the city. Ildraz said his mother found the Museum of Paradox online and turned out to be a great chance to take fun pictures with her family.

“I’ve been laughing since I went inside,” Ildraz said. “It’s really amazing.”

Dennis Speigel, the head of a consulting company called International Theme Park Services, Inc., said that immersive experiences are a natural progress of fun -based entertainment, such as songs for work, laser label, painting ball, closed parachute, and Batt Parks. They are smaller large-scale attractions that take away visitors for several hours to pass, not a full day activity as a visit to an amusement park.

“This is very small things we have had in the industry for years, strengthened by our new technology, such as expanded reality and virtual reality, to make the experience of a new and something that people have not seen,” said Space. “It’s kind of an evolution, all that is old is new again.”
