THE science and art of visual deception is the theme of the National Media Museum’s next late-night event.

An evening of free activities for over-18s takes place at the Bradford museum on Thursday, February 5, from 6.30pm to 9.30pm, including interactive talks and demonstrations which explore psychology, virtual reality and illusions. The programme takes its cue from Stranger Than Fiction - the Joan Fontcuberta exhibition that features evidence of miracles, mysterious hybrid beasts and mermaid fossils.
