Do you remember those 3D Magic Eye books? Still remember the first one we ever got. It was a Christmas gift from my parents to all of us kids, well three of us anyway, my oldest brother was 19 and already living on his own. But even then he enjoyed peering into the book, going a little cross eyed to see the page pop out at you. It was mesmerizing!

Illusion: as defined by Meriam-Webster

a (1): a misleading image presented to the vision: OPTICAL ILLUSION

   (2): something that deceives or misleads intellectually

b (1): perception of something objectively existing in such a way as to cause misinterpretation of its actual nature

There's actually a few other descriptions under the definition, but I think you get the idea. Illusions can be misleading, but yet can lead you to complete wonderment. Which is exactly what one new "museum" coming to the Mall of America will do.
