The eye sees, the brain fills in
Choose a flat illusion and first describe the lines, colour and repetition without naming the effect. Then change your distance and see where the impression flips.
A room with false perspective
In spatial set-ups, size or slope can seem different from what it really is. Find the fixed camera position and compare the photo with what you observe from the side.
An experience without the Museumkaart
The attraction works with tickets and is cashless; the Museumkaart (Dutch museum pass) is not valid. Tuesday is normally closed, but it may actually be open during school holidays, so a fixed weekly picture falls short.
Before you go
Daily 10.00–18.00 except Tuesday outside school holidays; closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
