Get ready for your brain and eyes to clash at the Museum of Illusional Art in Prague.
It’s not every day that you get to see illusion and trick art but when you do your brain and eyes aren’t always on the same page. Guess that’s why they call in trick art, right?
The moment you step into the museum and look at the first piece of art you’ll feel the exact same way we did. It’s the way our brains perceive and interpret these pieces of art that makes us feel dumbstruck. This is one of those museums where you could just stare at the art pieces in awe for hours on end.
Take your time going from room to room and letting all the art pieces play tricks with your mind and eyes. The pictures can turn out quite funny too if you play with right angles. It’s been one of Prague’s most attractive museums for years and soon you’ll know why.
