News Words: Illusion

Welcome to the Voice of America’s News Words.

A museum in Miami, Florida specializes in works of art that stretch the imagination.

ILLUSION

The Miami Paradox Museum is one of several paradox museums across the world. More than 70 of its displays produce optical illusions worthy of a photograph. The museum explains the math and science behind each illusion.
An illusion is anything that is false or not real but that seems to be true or real.
An optical illusion tricks your eyes to make you think you see something that is not present or that looks different in reality.
