PHENOMENA: The Exhibition is an immersive and interactive exhibition that delves into the fascinating world of illusions. From optical illusions to cognitive distortions, this exhibition aims to educate and engage visitors of all ages by unraveling the mysteries behind how our brains interpret the world around us.
The charm of science emerges as magic, an unexpected surprise. At PHENOMENA: The Exhibition, magic is investigated and the natural mechanisms behind certain apparent wonders are revealed. The trick is explored through a path dedicated mainly to children, who are naturally capable of transforming surprise into a desire to understand, using a method that has many pre-scientific and creative characteristics. Naturally, it is also an opportunity for those adults, parents, and teachers, etc., who have and continue to nurture the child within each of us.
