A Magical Evening at the Museum of Illusions in Seattle

The DMC Seattle team had an evening that you’d have to see to believe at the Museum of Illusions. After seeing some intriguing photos of the museum’s quirky exhibits and optical illusions, we decided to organize a team outing using the monthly Activity Fund budget for company-sponsored social outings. Little did we know the magic that was in store for us. 

A Mind-Bending Experience 

The museum is located a short walk away from DMC’s Seattle office, so we planned to visit it on a weeknight after work. We kicked off the evening by ordering dinner at the office to fuel up before our adventure. Then, a group of eight of us, including some of our guests, set out to explore the museum. 

Our eyes couldn’t believe what we saw after arriving at the Museum of Illusions. There was a variety of optical illusions to interact with and pose for fun photos.  Some rooms made you feel like you were shrinking or growing while others played tricks on your eyes. Our team had a blast together trying to figure out how the illusions worked and snapping silly photos of each other. 

One of the highlights of the outing was a tunnel at the end of the museum. It had a spinning circular wall that created a dizzying effect, making it tough to maintain your balance. People struggled to walk through it, with some of us nearly stumbling over as we tried to keep our footing through our laughter. 

This Magic Moment 

After regaining our balance, having our minds blown, and taking way too many pictures, we all made our way home. Our magical evening at the Museum of Illusions was the perfect way to embody DMC’s core value of “Have Fun.” It was great to enjoy the museum’s whimsy as a team and literally see things from a different perspective.
