Journées Européennes du Patrimoine au Zoom

As has been the case every year since 1984, the European Heritage Days provide participating cultural organisations with an opportunity to introduce people to heritage through a wide variety of activities. ZOOM is taking part and invites you to explore an exhibition on illusions, complemented by a team-based game focusing on the five senses, as well as to put your thinking caps on during an escape game. The detailed programme for the weekend: ‘Illusions’ exhibition Illusions arise from the brain’s misinterpretations. Sometimes appearing surreal, or even nonsensical, they challenge us to consider the limits of our brain and help us learn more about how it works. Get ready to change your perception and give your brain a real run for its money. Become invisible by putting your ‘head in the dish’, see the waves of the ‘stroboscopic guitar’ with the naked eye, or shrink to minuscule size by sitting on a ‘giant’s chair’… The experience promises to be a wild ride (for your senses, don’t worry), fun, interactive and, above all, unusual. You won’t see a thing! Practical information >> Ages 5 to 105 >> Self-guided tours, open continuously >> Saturdays and Sundays from 2 pm to 6 pm >> Free Team game: ‘Upside Down’ How about turning your senses upside down? This time, explore the ‘Illusions’ exhibition as a team! But be warned, it won’t be plain sailing. After venturing into a virtual world where everything is just an illusion, the only way back to our reality is to make sense of it all… by training your own senses. Will you succeed? Practical information >> Ages 5 to 105 >> In teams, running continuously >> Saturdays and Sundays from 2 pm to 6 pm >> Free ‘High-Flying’ escape game Your objective as burglary specialists? To get your hands on the finest piece in an illusion enthusiast’s collection. But be warned: her gallery is well protected, and you’ll have to work together and rack your brains to achieve your goal. It’s up to you to create the illusion! Practical information >> Ages 5 to 105 >> Teams of 3 to 5 people >> Duration: 30 minutes (beginner level) >> €25 per group, booking required
