Why it's Wildland
3.1More perception playground than traditional collection, Twist Museum uses more than 80 interactive exhibits to play with how the brain interprets colour, space, sound and perspective. Go ready to take your time: the rooms are designed to be explored, tested and photographed.
Twist is a playful, hands-on museum about perception and illusion, rather than a nature or landscape destination. Its interactive rooms make it a distinctive short indoor activity in central London, but it does not offer the wild setting or outdoor discovery that defines most Wildland places.
