Mind-Bending Exhibits and Holiday Cheer in Metro Detroit this Week
This holiday season, metro Detroit is buzzing with exciting events and exhibitions to get you into the festive spirit. One of the most talked-about attractions has just opened its doors – the Museum of Illusions Detroit. Located in downtown Detroit's Himelhoch's Building, this mind-bending museum boasts over 80 exhibits, including a titled room, vortex tunnel, Beuchet chair, holograms, and more optical illusions that will leave you questioning reality.
Step into a world where gravity defies logic and your perception of space is turned upside down. With exhibits like these, it's no wonder the Museum of Illusions Detroit has already become a must-visit destination for thrill-seekers and art lovers alike. Tickets start at $22, with 20% off all tickets through Dec. 21.
For a more low-key celebration, head over to Irwin House Gallery, where they're hosting their 6th annual holiday exhibition. This year's show is the biggest yet, featuring an impressive collection of reasonably priced art from around 80 local artists. To make it even sweeter, attendees are encouraged to bring their favorite cookies and sip on hot winter-themed beverages while admiring the artwork.
Holiday cheer doesn't have to be confined to the gallery, though. The Detroit Psychotronic Film Society is bringing a unique brand of holiday fun to Northern Lights Lounge with its screening of "Queen Kong," a 1976 cult classic that's equal parts hilarious and bizarre. Get ready for a wild ride as this deranged comedy takes center stage.
Mark your calendars for the following events:
* Museum of Illusions Detroit: Open daily from 10 am – 9 pm (Sunday-Thursday), 10 am – 10 pm (Friday-Saturday). Tickets start at $22.
* Irwin House Gallery's 6th Annual Holiday Exhibition: Sunday, Dec. 14, 2–5 pm. No cover charge.
* Detroit Psychotronic Film Society Presents "Queen Kong": Sunday, Dec. 14, 6:30 p.m., film starts at 7 p.m.

I'm loving how Metro Detroit is getting into the holiday spirit! I mean, who wouldn't want to visit a museum that's like stepping into a real-life video game 
? The Museum of Illusions Detroit sounds mind-blowing! And can we talk about the Irwin House Gallery's 6th Annual Holiday Exhibition? Supporting local artists is always a great way to spend the holidays, and it's awesome they're making it super accessible (no cover charge, yay!) . But what I really love is that there are so many different events happening - from art exhibitions to cult movie screenings 
. It's like Detroit is celebrating the weird and wonderful side of life this holiday season!
the tickets r like $22 which is super reasonable considering u'll be questioning reality for hours so yeah def go check it out and also i heard irwin house gallery has some sick art show on too 
can't wait to see it all!!
. And the Irwin House Gallery exhibition is a great idea, bringing together local artists and encouraging people to get creative with their cookies 
. It's amazing how these events can bring people together and create unforgettable memories in the city.
. Can't wait to see what other exciting things 2025 has in store! 
️. Whatever you choose to do, I hope you have an amazing time exploring all that Metro Detroit has to offer this holiday season 
.
. And have you seen all those exhibits listed - vortex tunnel, Beuchet chair, holograms... it's like a real-life sci-fi movie! I'm defo gonna check it out with my mates this weekend 
I went there last week with my friends and we were all like "what's going on?" But in the best way possible, of course! We ended up buying tickets for next year because it was just too much fun. Anyway, if you're looking for something a little more chill to get into the holiday spirit, Irwin House Gallery's exhibition is pretty cool too. They have some really talented local artists and it's super affordable. And if you're feeling adventurous, "Queen Kong" is this hilarious cult classic that's just wild... so yeah, I'm planning on checking all of these out 
it's like nothing i've ever seen before. optical illusions that'll make you question reality... and at 22 bucks a ticket, it's a steal 
. But hey, if it's $22 for an hour of mind-bending weirdness, I'm totally there... 
.
What's real? 
. The idea that we can question our perception of reality, of space and time itself, is both fascinating and humbling. It makes me think about how much we think we know and how little of it is actually true 
.
.
! museum of illusions detroit sounds like a total mind-bender 
cookies and hot beverages? yes, please! 
dec 14th is looking like a pretty awesome holiday so far 
️
it's just a bunch of overpriced tricks to separate people from their cash. I mean, who needs to pay $22 for some cheesy illusions? And don't even get me started on the Irwin House Gallery - 80 local artists, huh? Sounds like just an excuse to charge exorbitant prices for art that's probably not worth it 
. And what's with all these holiday events being held in Northern Lights Lounge? Can't they see people just want to stay home and be alone during the holidays? It's just another example of metro Detroit trying to cash in on the festive season without putting in any actual effort
