Museum of Illusions Montreal: Entry Ticket

Admission to the Museum of Illusions in Montreal, a run of exhibits where what you perceive and what is actually there quietly part ways. The installations work on the senses and unsettle the eye, and most are interactive: they are meant to be handled and stepped into rather than studied from behind a rope. The place suits a family outing as easily as a date, since the rooms are taken at whatever pace you like and every corner holds another effect worth trying. Long-standing classics of the genre sit alongside newer pieces, so even visitors who have seen an illusion museum before find something unfamiliar. It photographs unusually well, and the pictures you come away with are part of the point. Expect to leave still arguing about what was real.
