Las Vegas, home of David Copperfield, Shin Lim and other magicians, is set to get a new museum dedicated to the craft.

Museum of Illusions announced Tuesday that it signed a lease in a newly built retail complex on the Strip. Construction is underway on the 15,274-square-foot museum, which is scheduled to open in early spring 2023, according to a news release.

It will be located in the four-story project known as 63, at the southwest corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Harmon Avenue.

This will be the museum chain’s largest location yet, the release said, adding it will be designed for visitors of all ages and feature “mentally-stimulating optical illusions, 3D holograms, brain-puzzling exhibits and interactive illusion rooms.”
