Reward School Trip: Paradox Museum

Thanks to the generosity of a Year 9 Jack Petchey winner, 30 year 9 students were invited on a reward trip to the Paradox Museum, in South Kensington, London.

The Paradox Museum blends science, art, and psychology into an interactive, hands-on playground that tricks your senses and challenges how you perceive reality.

The museum features over 50 interactive exhibits—such as the Ames Room, where people of different heights appear to shrink or grow, and giant kaleidoscopes that create infinite reflections.  

Spaces like the Zero Gravity Room and upside-down London Underground carriage sets let you pose as if you are floating in space or crawling across the ceiling. 

Each exhibit is specifically designed with designated photo spots so you can snap surreal, gravity-defying pictures and illusion videos to share with friends. The students took 1000s of pictures to help them remember their day out!
