Milwaukee, Wisconsin - Exhibit: Fiji Mermaid and other objects of deception The Milwaukee Public Museum opened a new student-created exhibit on May 4: More Than Meets the Eye: The Art of Deception, exploring how reality can be easily obscured by camouflage, fakes and forgeries, body modifications and illusions.
The exhibit includes four display cases, highlighting materials relevant to different modes of visual enhancement. These include: forged and fake objects, the female image, artifice in nature and tricks of the eye. On display will be both an infamous Fiji mermaid and one of Wisconsin's best-known frauds, the Spencer Lake horse skull.
This exhibit will be on display through April 5, 2008. [Carrie Trousil, 05/07/2007]
