About
Twist Museum on Oxford Street is an interactive art and optical illusion museum that turns passive sightseeing into an active, participatory experience. The venue features rooms filled with illusions, interactive installations, and immersive art designed to be explored rather than observed from behind a rope. The Oxford Street location is as central as it gets in London, meaning excellent Tube access (Oxford Circus or Bond Street) and endless dining options before or after.
Each room presents a different visual trick or interactive element, and most families find the experience takes around 60 to 90 minutes. It's a natural rainy-day London activity that combines education, curiosity, and a lot of good photos. Book online in advance, particularly for weekend visits.
