# Illusion at the Science Gallery, Dublin

Exhibition Gallery Gallery Exhibitions Science Sculpture 

Dublin Science Gallery's ILLUSION exhibition explores the neuroscience of magic and sensory deception, curated by psychologist Richard Wiseman and featuring sculptor Jonty Hurwitz.

![Illusion at the Science Gallery, Dublin](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652682c0fcc9b7321d2b0dd3/1703266037978-D8BXX3KXH14C6CL1O8VI/image-asset.jpeg)

Join the [Dublin Science Gallery](https://dublin.sciencegallery.com/illusion/hurwitz) as we say the magic word and pull back the curtain to reveal ILLUSION, our brand new brain-melting, mind-bending exhibition exploring the neuroscience of magic. Exploring sensory deception, ILLUSION investigates how perception underpins everything we see, feel, think and do.

Curated by author of best selling books like Quirkology and 59 Seconds and Britain's only Professor of the Public Understanding of Psychology Richard Wiseman, ILLUSION promises to be a perception-shattering insight into the human mind, combining magic with psychology, optical illusions with scientific reasoning, and confusion with clarity.

Featuring: "Hurwitz Singularity" by sculptor Jonty Hurwitz

Dates: 11.07.13 – 29.09.13
