Museum of Illusions, Art museum in Chelsea, New York, United States
The Museum of Illusions is an art museum in Chelsea featuring over 100 exhibits exploring optical illusions, holograms, and stereograms across multiple interactive rooms. The displays are spread throughout different levels where visitors can engage directly with visual phenomena.
This location is part of a global network founded in Zagreb in 2015, which then expanded to other countries around the world. The New York branch brings this concept to the city's art scene.
The place teaches how our brains process and can be fooled by visual information through playful experiments on display. Visitors discover how perception tricks us in everyday situations.
The museum is located near the 14th Street subway station served by the A, C, E, and L lines. Plan to spend time exploring the interactive exhibits, as they are spread across multiple floors.
The Hall of Infinity uses precisely positioned mirrors to create an endless reflection effect that pulls visitors into seemingly infinite spaces. This room often becomes a highlight of the visit because the optical effect is surprisingly powerful.
