The Illusion Museum in Veliko Tarnovo was an interesting and enjoyable stop, with several creative exhibits and great photo opportunities. Some of the illusions were really well done, though a few didn’t seem to work quite as expected. The staff were friendly and clearly keen to help but at times we would have preferred a little more space to explore on our own. Overall, it’s a fun experience and worth a visit if you’re nearby — just don’t expect everything to be perfect.
