Hi
The Bloomfield science museum Jerusalem developed few years ago with scientists from the Interdisciplinary Center for Neural computation from the Hebrew University an exhibition under the name- "Illusions - Mind-boggling!" http://mada.org.il/brain/illusions-e.html with few of the exhibits that you mentioned and many more.
We love it and we still show it in our museum

Hello all,
I'm working on a project engaging the public with concepts in vision
perception and cognitive function.
As much of this has been done, I'd like to get a good sense of what's out
there to share with the scientists I'm working with.
If you have worked with or have any of the following at your institution,
could you point me to it?
- Upside-down Faces or Inverted Rotating Faces
- Lighting, Shadows and Apparent Brightness
- Inferring depth from cast shadows (Levitating from shadows)
- Perspective chairs illusion (Ames room)
Thank you, everyone!
Maria
