See 3D art at the Franklin Institute’s new ‘Your Brain’ exhibit

The Franklin Institute is opening a new permanent exhibit on June 14 called “Your Brain,” and it’s part of a 53,000 square foot expansion of the Logan Square museum.

To highlight the tricks your mind can play on you, the Franklin Institute commissioned Princeton-based marketing agency Wasabi 3D to create a 3D art installation, said Franklin Institute spokeswoman Stefanie Santo.

You can see the art installation at the grand opening of the Your Brain exhibit on June 14 and also at events and festivals around the city this summer, Santo said.

Wasabi 3D specializes in trippy, seemingly 3D images, like this one commissioned by Google:
