Museum Of Illusions To Offer Pittsburgh More Than Meets The Eye

PITTSBURGH, PA — Billed as an "edutainment destination," the Museum of Illusions will open its second Pennsylvania location in Pittsburgh this fall.

With more than 60 displays featuring holograms, stereograms and optical illusions, museum visitors will learn about vision, perception and the human brain. Museum officials said they also will experience firsthand the science of how the eyes can trick the mind.

“From photo-worthy moments to educational experiences, our museum offers thought-provoking exhibits while still creating a fun, interactive environment," said Stacy Sec, director of sales and marketing for LOL Entertainment, the museum's parent company.

Museum officials said the attraction, which will be located on the North Shore between PNC Park and Heinz Field, will challenge guests to see things differently as it unveils the mechanics behind its mind-bending illusions.

The Museum of Illusions concept originated in Zagreb, Croatia, and since has expanded to more than 40 cities worldwide. The only other one in Pennsylvania is in Philadelphia.
