Ops! Feeling Dizzy At Museum Of Illusions Kuala Lumpur!

Ames Room

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?

The Vortex Tunnel

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.  

The Chair Illusion

“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.”

True Mirror

“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.”

A Trick of The Eye

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.

Confusing! Yellow OR Green? Blue or Red?

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!

Smart Shop

Mark Your Date For The Glamour Legendary Moscow Circus That Comes To Malaysia!

For the first time ever, the world famous tradition of Russian circus will make its way to Malaysia in a sensational eight-month nationwide tour featuring a variety of dazzling and jaw dropping circus acts.

The engaging and extraordinary variety event will make its debut in Malaysia with performances in ten cities across seven states, commencing with the first show from 10 August to 2 September 2018 at Padang Timur, Petaling Jaya, moving up north to Queensbay Mall, Penang on 13 to 30 September as well as Auto City, Prai on 5 to 21 October, followed by the other earmarked locations including Melaka, Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, Batu Pahat, Ipoh, Kuantan, and Klang, running all the way till 31 March 2019.

This special edition tour, also known as The Moscow Circus Tour of Malaysia 2018/19, is the brainchild of Executive Producers Dato’ Sri G Radakrishnan and Yahna SG, together with Producers Kenneth Lee and Mr Victor Pilipovic.

For the first time in history, The Moscow Circus will bring together troupes from two of the best and most well-known Russian circus companies - the Bolshoi Circus (aka The Moscow State Circus at Vernadsky Prospekt) and the Nikulin Moscow Circus.

“We are thrilled to announce The Moscow Circus Tour of Malaysia that will be held for the next eight months. This show is a unique opportunity to witness world-class performers from the renowned Nikulin Moscow Circus and Bolshoi Circus right here in Malaysia. We also look forward to bringing engaging activities during our tour stops around the country to showcase the acts and connect closely with the audiences along with our partners. It will truly be an exciting journey and an unforgettable experience!” said Kenneth Lee, Producer of The Moscow Circus Tour of Malaysia 2018/19.

Universally known as the capital of circus arts, Russian circus artists have, for decades, been thrilling audiences across the globe with spectacular performances full of power, artistry and world-class athletic skills. Visitors both young and old will be transported into a fantasy world through a unique array of performances by trapeze artists, jugglers, acrobats and gymnasts, all vying for attention and often at the same time!

Never-before-seen acts that audiences can look forward to include thrilling death-defying feats by aerialists, high wire walkers, trapeze artists and Russian Swing acrobats, along with specially featured highlights such as a mesmerizing juggling performance by famous juggler Semen Krachinov, high octane roller skaters, gravity challenging diablo spinners and mind-boggling illusionists, all held together by one of Russia’s most well-known clowns, Armen Asiryants.

Each performance will feature a two-hour long world-class programme encompassing nearly 40 professional performers guaranteed to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.

“It will be great opportunity for families, couples as well as groups of friends to enjoy an exciting experience of a lifetime, which is why we are offering affordable ticket prices from as low as RM50 and shows that lasts for over 24 days at each city. We do not want anyone to miss their chance of attending one of our shows and be in awe of the unique feats you won’t be seeing anywhere else,” added Kenneth Lee.

The Executive Producers and Producers have also taken extra measures to ensure the event provides a positive contribution towards the community and the Malaysian economy. In line with the government’s call for Malaysians to help the nation overcome its debts, a part of all proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the government’s Tabung Harapan Malaysia.

The Moscow Circus shall then equally match the amount collected with the hope that a total of at least RM1,000,000 will be raised for the fund during the tour.

“We are grateful to be given this opportunity to bring fellow Malaysian residents an internationally known group of artists to present an electrifying set of performances. Equally importantly, we also wish to play our part by contributing an amount from our sales to the government’s Tabung Harapan. Therefore, those who purchase our tickets will not only get to enjoy an unforgettable event, but will also be doing a good deed for the nation at the same time,” said Dato’ Sri G Radakrishnan, Executive Producer of The Moscow Circus Tour of Malaysia 2018/19.

Tickets to the show can be purchased at an affordable price from as low as RM50 and up to RM280 for top tier tickets. To complete the circus experience, the entire performance will take place under a 2,700-seater fully air-conditioned circus Big Top, which will be the largest circus tent to ever exist in Malaysia.
