People have been coming here since 1835 to admire Edinburgh through the lorgnette of a periscope whose panoramas are projected onto a large table-screen. This visit is particularly popular with children, who appreciate the fun aspect. On six floors, a maze of attractions and exhibitions also provides a whole world of optical illusions and curiosities based on sounds, lights, mirrors and tunnels, for fans of the genre. At the top, the Outlook Tower also offers beautiful views of the surrounding area, including the castle, which is just across the street.

Une visite originale et beaucoup d'illusions d'optique sont mises en valeur. C’est un endroit à visiter en famille, très ludique pour les enfants. Il faut compter 2h pour faire la visite tranquillement.

C'est un endroit où on y passe du bon temp. Activité et fou rire assure. Une vue imprenable sur Edimbourg quand on monte sur le toit. Je recommande
if you like optical illusions,/attraction you will love this museum... there is an exhibition on optical illusions, which will surprise you and the famous old periscope that allows you to have a view of the city on a table... to see once in his life!
