The address is Frankrijklei 18, Antwerp. Opening hours vary by day: Monday to Thursday from 10:00 to 17:00, and Friday through Sunday until 19:00. The last entrance is about 45 minutes before closing. The museum is fully interactive you can touch and test nearly all exhibits and take photos or videos that look like magical tricks.
