Description
Explore Mind Games: Art Alive!, Sydney's independent immersive art and illusion museum in Chippendale. Eleven rooms, 85+ exhibits, and art by 17 visionary artists, including a First Nations artist.
Mind Games: Art Alive! is an independent, Australian owned and operated immersive art and illusion museum in Chippendale, Sydney.
Across 11 rooms and 85+ interactive exhibits over two levels, explore a mix of hands-on interactive art, science-based illusions and gallery-grade installations from 17 visionary artists, including an artist with Burning Man credentials and a First Nations artist whose fabric-based installation changes and evolves over time. Journey into the Holographic Moon Room, a 3D lunar illusion suspended in light and colour. Step into the Levitation Station, a pink train turned upside down that defies gravity and expectation. Lose your bearings in the Mirror Maze. Along the way, hunt hidden QR codes and unlock secret words for a surprise prize, and pull back the curtain on how film illusions and visual tricks actually work.
This is not a franchise. Mind Games is independently built and run, with a distinct, artsy, personality-led identity that sets it apart from bigger, more standardised illusion museums. Visitors consistently highlight the warmth and helpfulness of the on-site team, and the quality of photo opportunities throughout the space.
Rated 4.9 out of 5 by more than 1,300 visitors, Mind Games is a short walk from Central Station and Broadway Shopping Centre, with free parking available across the road.
Suited to families, couples, friends and solo visitors of all ages, with a recommended minimum age of 3 for children to get the most from the experience. Typical visit length is 60 to 90 minutes, self-paced.
