5/5
The perfect place for all the family. There is something here in this world of Illusions to make the youngest and oldest family member look at in awe. You can see the world of mirrors, lights and camera trickery before your eyes. It is very interactive and on each level there are games to play, tricks to try and items to view. On the top floor there is the Camera Obscura itself and amazing views of the Castle/whole City. Try the house of mirrors and vortex tunnel as you leave. Don't forget a visit to the gift shop for books, gifts and more illusions.

    The name of the exhibition is indeed too long and abstract, and the committee found on its official website that the exhibition actually contains three parts: the city dark box, the light and shadow world, and the top floor view. In the light and shadow world, there is a beautiful dream light and shadow space, and there are also realistic optical interesting exhibitions, like what time and space tunnel, mirror maze, here can also "exchange" noses with friends! In short, they are all carefully arranged with light and shadow, which brings us a magical art journey that integrates architectural space, art and technology experience. Tickets are required.

    You can experience a visual feast of light and shadow, and you can see many old cameras.

    The building is the highest building on Royal Mile Avenue and you can use your telescope to view the stunning scenery of Edinburgh for free, with views of Forth Bay and Forth Bridge. Inside the small building are all kinds of interesting exhibitions about optics, the most bizarre being a 19th-century installation on the small roof that uses lenses and mirrors to project city images onto a huge horizontal screen. Through this installation you can see the crowds walking around Edinburgh Castle Square not far away and the bustling shops on Princes Street.

    The Photo Box & Light & Shadow World exhibition is an ideal place for creativity and curiosity among adults, especially children, creative and entertaining, and undoubtedly a great place for family vacations, just a few steps away from Edinburgh Castle.
