Expect The Unexpected

Challenge your perspective with the divided chair, which is famous among visitors of all ages.

You are promised several head-scratching moments with the distorted 3D paintings by Jan Jírovec and Zdeněk Daňek. David Strauzz’s changing lenticular images and the stereoscopic photographs of the travelers Zikmund and Hanzelka set the scene for you to take spectacular pictures. You can dabble in the world of reverse perspective with British artist Patrick Hughes’ specialized works. Make sure not to miss the 3D anamorphic installation of Nikola Tesla by Patrik Proško. Also, Ladislav Vlna’s spellbinding metallurgical paintings (created with the use of fire) and the optical reliefs of Ivana Štenclová highlight the exceptional talent of local artists. Most of the exhibits are interactive in nature, thus giving you the unique opportunity to engage with the artworks in ways you never thought possible. You can even take the experience a step further by getting a behind-the-scenes look at some of the artworks at the mini-cinema. From the illusory portrayals of eminent Czech personalities to pushing the envelope with augmented reality, the museum takes the phrase “playing tricks on your eyes'' to a whole new level!
