House Illusion 3 different videos! (Artist Roy Lichtenstein)

Posted in: Optical Illusions

Lichtenstein house illusion in the national gallery in Washington DC. This colorful house looks real from one angle, and just like some of the other perceptive illusions you’ll see, it looks like it’s moving as you walk by. Looks great on camera, here are a couple videos:

What you are supposed to do is walk by it on the path, and as you do it looks like it’s spinning slightly on it’s axis. This is because the part of the house that appears the most close, is actually farther away. This is similiar to some of the rotating face illusions and other perspective illusions. Very cool. Thanks, Mr. Roy Lichtenstein for your cool house illusion. Does anyone know if there are other optical illusions in the National Gallery of Art’s Sculpture garden?
