Chris Harvey is General Manager of Museum of Illusions Sydney, the first Museum of Illusions location in Australia and part of a global network of more than 70 museums across 30 countries in 5 continents.

Chris has more than 24 years of experience in the visitor attractions industry, working across theme parks, city visitor attractions and immersive entertainment. He began his career in the United Kingdom before relocating to Australia, ​having spent 17 years with Merlin Entertainments during that period, he held a range of senior operational leadership roles, leading teams and attractions that welcomed millions of visitors each year.

In December 2025, Chris joined Museum of Illusions to lead the launch and operation of its first Australian location in the heart of Sydney's CBD. Museum of Illusions Sydney combines interactive exhibits, immersive installations and optical illusions to create an experience that encourages visitors to explore, interact and challenge their perception.

Since opening, the museum has established itself as a must do addition to Sydney's visitor attraction landscape and will host the official opening reception for REMIX Summit Sydney 2026, bringing together people working across culture, technology and the experience economy.

Chris is passionate about the visitor attractions industry and the continued growth of Sydney's visitor economy. His focus is on creating experiences that people genuinely enjoy and remember, while building strong teams and commercially successful, well-run attractions. He is particularly interested in how creativity, storytelling and human interaction can work alongside operational excellence to create better visitor experiences.
