The museum is a must-see including optical illusions and interactive displays that aim to test visitors' visual and cognitive abilities. The museum has a number of optical illusions, such as the Ames Room where guests look either smaller or larger depending on their location, the Infinity Room which gives the impression of unlimited space, the Ambiguous Cylinder that rotates yet appears to be stationary when seen through narrow openings, and more.
Along with holograms and stereograms, there's an area filled with warped mirrors that make visitors seem wacky and out of place. Visitors may also engage with exhibitions by shooting pictures at a table with a concealed image that can only be seen when using a certain camera.
Everyone from art lovers to science nerds will see, in the most intriguing and entertaining manner, how easily our own perceptions can fool us. Some mind-boggling tactics will help you learn more about the human brain and science; as well as your own eyes and how they sometimes perceive things that your rational mind can't make sense of. Don't miss the Smart Games Room, full of fun and challenging riddles. Puzzles like this are wonderfully entertaining but they also have the potential to drive you absolutely crazy!
