The Art of Illusion
Step into a world where perception meets deception.
The Art of Illusion invites you to question what you see — and how you see it. While vision is one of our most powerful tools for understanding the world, it can also be surprisingly unreliable.
This exhibit explores the fascinating ways our brains interpret illusions. Visitors will learn how assumptions, context, and past experiences can lead us to perceive things that aren’t really there.
Engage with displays that let you deconstruct illusions, watch still images flicker to life, and explore works of art that use perspective and ambiguity to challenge perception.
You’ll leave seeing the world a little differently.
