The
world’s fastest growing museum chain has officially opened Asia’s very first
Museum of Illusions, right here in Malaysia. Mouse mommy and media were
attending the launch to explore and experience ourselves: What is inside?
Once
I walked in, the First station that caught my eyes was the Ames Room. It looks
like an ordinary room, but in effect it is a master of distortion, making us
experience an amazing visual illusion of The Giant and the Dwarf.
The museum boasts the largest single
collection of optical illusions in all of Asia and is set to tantalize visitors
to a visual and sensory experience that transcends generations.

“We’re very lucky to have been chosen
as the first destination in Asia,” said Museum Director Azizul Aznan.
“With museums in Europe and the Middle
East already opened and blue-ribbon destinations like New York, Berlin, Dubai
and Toronto expected in coming months, Kuala Lumpur is excited to be first on
the map in this part of the world.”
Mouse mommy also got the opportunity to
snap photo with the Kaleidoscope effect. Amazing of the photo outcome!

Kuala Lumpur is slated to be the
seventh Museum of Illusions since the maiden attraction originated in the land
of famous international inventor Nikola Tesla, in Zagreb, Croatia in 2015.
Another seven museums are scheduled to open before the end of 2018.
However, unlike most museums, where a
certain mature decorum is expected when admiring exhibits, the Museum of
Illusions welcomes a bit of noise and banter – particularly laughing and
bewildered exclamations.
Mouse mommy and media blogger Jia Shin
with her cute daughter were experience the Chair Illusion. It is using the laws
of perception and play with roles and sizes ratios by simply sitting in a
chair.

“We don’t want visitors to be shy about
their emotions, we want them to fully engage and interact with the exhibits. We
want them to let their imagination run wild and share their experiences with
friends and family as they navigate the perplexing, maze-like museum.”
One of the museums first patrons, Tan Sri Dato' Seri Vincent Tan, was on hand to demonstrate the museums highly interactive character,
enthusiastically ‘crawling on the ceiling’ equivalent to the famous Marvel
superhero, Spiderman.
Azizul said that the museum challenges
the mind at every step and turn. “The way our brain works is
extremely complex, we don’t merely perceive reality as we see or feel it. What
our brain does is gather information from each of our senses, combining and
enhancing some details while ignoring others, all the while filling in any gaps
using its pre-existing knowledge of the world.”

“With each of our exhibits, we
intentionally alter this information and in doing so we alter your perception
of reality in surprising, intriguing, and fun ways. This museum is something
you truly need to experience first-hand.”

With over 70 exhibits, the Museum of
Illusions has the largest collection of holograms, stereograms, and optical
illusions across Asia. Each of the exhibits has been designed to not only
thrill and beguile visitors, but to provide a unique opportunity from which to
learn just how easily a person’s mind can be tricked.

“The Museum of Illusions in Kuala
Lumpur is undoubtedly destined to become one of this season’s top city
attractions, and visitors will have the opportunity to share their spectacular
photos and videos through social media,” Azizul said.
The Museum of Illusions showcases
entertaining and mind-bending illusions, each of which teaches about vision,
perception, the human brain, and science, allowing visitors to understand why
their eyes may see things that the brain does not understand. Ops! Really make
mouse mommy feeling confusing now.

Illusions vary from a gravity-defying
slanted room to visual illusions where the person shrinks or grows before their
very eyes. You can engulf yourself in a dark and disorienting vortex or sit at
a table with multiple versions of yourself while playing a game or two. There
is also a gift shop that offers mind-twisting puzzles, as well as souvenirs and
games suitable for all ages.
“We also have a clever playroom with
lots of problem-solving games, which will absolutely blow your mind. This
Museum offers a totally mesmerizing experience; one you can enjoy with the
entire family,” concluded Azizul.
There are many more to discover! The
museum of Illusions that designed based on science, mathematics, biology and
psychology, allow us to learn WHY our
eyes see things that our brain does not understand. Amazing!
