Reversed room! This is the museum room inspired by the Pittsburgh Penguins. In this room, you were supposed to strike a pose, then rotate the image to make it appear as if you were defying gravity. Second grader Claire Hovan said, “This was my favorite room cause I looked super cool and like a wizard magic person.”
Canorus clouds! This is the museum “Infinity Room.” Multiple mirrors were installed all over the room to create an illusion of infinitive space.

Dazzlingly, defying gravity! This exhibit uses a structure of mirrors that help create an illusion of hanging from a building. There were many different poses you could imitate, which all created exciting pictures. (Emma Hovan)

Classic illusions! This exhibit features some of the most famous optical illusions. Some included “Black Dot,” “Blivent” and “Floating Circle.” (Emma Hovan)
