Display Cases, First Floor, HUB-Robeson Center
Duration: February 7 – March 15, 2020

University Park, P.A. – Is it real or an illusion? A natural phenomenon or clever design? This collaborative exhibition presented by members of the Penn State Museum Consortium explores various facets of illusions in science, art, literature and nature. The exhibition showcases a selection of objects and illusion examples that illustrate relevance to current day culture, scientific discovery, or both. Illuminating Illusions is a collaboration of Penn State University Museum Consortium Members:
