The Museum of Illusions is a popular attraction that can be found in major cities around the globe, including New York, Paris, and Dubai – and Manchester, as of the end of this month.

As hinted at by the name, the Museum of Illusions houses a series of mind-boggling illusions, such as upside-down rooms, infinity mirrors, and a vortex tunnel, making for a fun experience with plenty of photo opportunities that will have your followers doing a double take. There are more than 50 locations of this hit attraction found around the world, and now Manchester is about to get its very own.

Located in Market Street, the Museum of Illusions Manchester will feature the museum's signature illusions with a Mancunian twist – for example, the upside-down room will be designed as the interior of a Manchester tram. There will be knowing nods to Manchester's history throughout, as well as the exclusive global debut of brand-new illusion.

The Museum of Illusions Manchester opens on 27 September.
