Museum - Camera Obscura and World of Illusions in Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Well, now the internet is down, time to get lost in a spiral?? #GoogleDown

There's snow place like Camera Obscura, where we like to keep our decorations light!

COMPETITION TIME! There's still time to enter our fantastic competition to win a Christmas day out in Edinburgh with The Chocolatarium and Edinburgh's Flavour. Head over to our page to take part in the original post. Good luck!

When you're on the final leg of 2020 but the New Year seems so far away! Who else is counting down the days? #HeadSpinning

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas #MagicMileMoments

Please, join us in marking #WorldAidsDay, as we light up red this evening

We would walk 500 miles, but one Royal Mile is more than enough to find the stories of Edinburgh, the old and new. We're sending our love this St. Andrew's Day to our colleagues, neighbours and friends on (and slightly off the Mile) - Edinburgh Castle, The Scotch Whisky Experience, The Real Mary King's Close, Mercat Tours, The Chocolatarium, Scotts Kitchen and Bertie's Restaurant & Bar. We hope next year holds more hope and joy! #WeAreScotland #OneMillionWordsofKindness

We got that clean routine down! Cleaning the World of Illusions always has an added bit of fun #TikTok #GoodToGo

Getting mesmerised by the work of Jean-Pierre Yvaral, his colourful geometric work is rather calming, however, is your eye seeing it 3D cubes or 2D squares??

Of course, the October holidays in Scotland would bring oot the rain. Looking for a recommendation of what to do?

Happy World Octopus Day! We can't get over how realistic this piece is by David Zinn. He specialises in creating fantastic illusion based art, taking inspiration from what he finds on the street.
