Mind-Bending Museums and Holiday Cheer in Detroit This Week
This week, Detroit's latest museum attraction, the Museum of Illusions Detroit, has opened its doors to the public at Himelhoch's Building downtown. The mind-bending exhibitions feature over 80 interactive displays, including a titled room, a vortex tunnel, holograms, and optical illusions that will challenge your perceptions. With tickets starting at $22, this is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for something new and exciting in Detroit.
Art lovers can also get into the holiday spirit by attending Irwin House's 6th annual holiday exhibition, featuring reasonably priced art from around 80 artists. The event takes place on Sunday, December 14, from 2-5 p.m., at Irwin House Gallery (2351 W. Grand River Blvd.). This year's exhibition is said to be the largest yet, curated by Detroit artist Phil Simpson.
For those who enjoy cult and offbeat cinema, the Detroit Psychotronic Film Society has something in store for you. On Sunday, December 14, head to Northern Lights Lounge for a screening of "Queen Kong," a 1976 gender-swapped version of King Kong that's described as "one of the most deranged comedies ever." The event starts at 6:30 p.m., with the film starting at 7 p.m. There is no cover charge, but donations are welcome.
Looking for more holiday cheer? Glogg & Cookie Artist Social is a fun way to check out the Irwin House's exhibition while enjoying reasonably priced art and sipping on hot winter-themed beverages.

just went to the Museum of Illusions in Detroit and wow, those exhibits are mind-blowing 
, they make you question what's real and what's not... been to a few art exhibitions before but this one was something else, really loved the prices too, can't complain about that $22 ticket price 
.
detroit needs more cool stuff like this! museum of illusions sounds crazy cool 
i mean who wouldn't wanna be in a vortex tunnel or hang out with holograms? 
and art lovers rejoice 
meanwhile, cult cinema fans are gonna freak out over queent Kong 
what's up with detroit having so much awesome stuff to do during the holidays? 
also, "Queen Kong" screening at Northern Lights Lounge sounds like a blast... who knew Detroit had such cool cult cinema options? 
let's spread some holiday cheer in the D this week!!! 
u should def hit up irwin house gallery too their exhibition is supposed to be huge this year 
. I'm def heading out to check it all out this weekend! What about you?
... and the holograms? wow! they're so realistic it'll make u question what's real and what's not 
. btw have any of u guys been to the irwin house holiday exhibition? i heard its gonna be huge this year with over 80 artists 
. Plus, who wouldn't want to watch a cult classic movie like "Queen Kong" 
? Glogg & Cookie Artist Social sounds like the perfect way to spend a chill afternoon with friends, too! And it's free? What more could you ask for 
And what's with all the screenings at Northern Lights Lounge? Are they just trying to be quirky or something? 
Can't we have some chill events for once instead of all these weird and wacky stuff? 
. And the Irwin House's holiday exhibition is supposed to be huge this year, which is awesome for art lovers like me. I've been meaning to check out the Northern Lights Lounge too, because "Queen Kong" sounds hilarious 
️
Still, I guess it's better than nothing. The vortex tunnel sounds kinda cool, I suppose. But honestly, who needs all this "mind-bending" stuff when you can just look up some weird videos on YouTube for free? 
. And if you're feelin' nostalgic for some cult cinema, "Queen Kong" is a must-see 
. Detroit's really showing off its unique side this week, and I am HERE. FOR. IT 
. "Queen Kong" sounds hilarious, will definitely add it to my watchlist. 
But you know what's even better than the holiday cheer? The weird stuff that comes with it 
I'm down to spend $22 for that kind of experience. But, you know, it's not just about the attractions, it's about the nostalgia too 
Sometimes I get caught up in thinking "this is how we used to do things" and then reality hits me like a ton of bricks
