Illusion: Nothing is as it seems

Bring the kids along to Petrosains for this entertaining and enlightening exhibition that's all about the ways your mind can deceive you. Combining art, science and psychology, the exhibits exploit visual and audio illusions to show you how your brain works and can be tricked through sensory deception. The exhibition was devised by the Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin, which worked with psychologist and author Richard Wiseman as well as magician and escapologist Paul Gleeson. With magic shows daily and innovative, interactive approaches to explaining displays, this is a great way to get kids and adults alike interested in science.
