Did you know
It's the first UK branch of a museum brand that started in Sweden and has since opened in cities worldwide, and most exhibits are designed to look completely different in person than they do in a photo.
Local tip
Book online rather than turning up, prices are noticeably cheaper in advance and on weekdays outside school holidays. Give yourself at least an hour, most rooms only work if you actually try the trick rather than just walk past it.
