April 2024 A-Z Challenge: U.S. Travel Chronicles [Museum of Illusions]

#236



Stepping into the Museum of Illusions was like entering an unreal, surreal realm. We visited the one in Las Vegas as the one in Seattle hadn't opened yet; it's a coming-soon feature sometime in 2025. 


From mind-bending optical illusions that challenged perception to interactive exhibits that defied gravity, each exhibit offered a new marvel to behold. From the spinning vortex, which had us literally in for a spin, to the unbelievable square-pyramid 2D-3D conversions depending on which side you look at it from, to the mirror-play and kaleidoscope exhibits and tunnels, all of these sparked awe and wonder within us as we experienced these from room to room. 


Similar to us, several guests, adults and children alike, left the place mesmerized by the endless possibilities of the mind. Oh what tricks the mind plays on you! We, along with a few other people there, spent a long time looking at a few of the artwork, approaching it from different directions and angles, but we just couldn't see it! And once we eventually saw some of it, we then just couldn't unsee it!


Though illusions may date back to more than 2000 years ago, they sure still continue to stump us all - young or old, man or woman, people across the world.
