Over 80 Shocking Tricks of the Mind at Chicago’s New Museum of Illusions

This fascinating new museum in Chicago sounds like an afternoon you will not soon forget. The Museum of Illusions sounds like nothing I've ever heard of before.

Visual exhibitions all designed to mess with your perception and tickle everyone of your senses.

Are you ready to do a museum trip that may take you and your brain to some strange and interesting places?

Cool. I was hoping you were going to say yes, because this place looks very fun. Not your average kind of fun. Thant fact may be this museum's best characteristic. Plus, a good alternative for some freaky Halloween fun that isn't too scary for the kids.

Come be challenged by your eyes... or is it your brain that's challenged? Time to see things a little differently.

This unique museum uses illusions to demonstrate how our brains interpret reality. You will see things that appear to move, shift, and disappear when in fact, they are not. With a different illusion around every corner, your brain will be in for a workout.
