Description

Inside a repurposed Center City bank shaped by local artists, over 60 interactive installations turn perception into a hands-on puzzle. Exhibits challenge depth perception and visual certainty through holograms, kaleidoscope setups, and gravity-defying Ames installations. Everything is built for direct physical participation and playful photo opportunities, with staff frequently stepping in to explain how a visual trick works or help frame the shot.
