Kaleidoscope:Kaleidoscope

Introduced by Sir David Brewster in 1816, the kaleidoscope helps us understand optical illusions in a play form. Using mirrors and often beads, glitter, stained glass or other colorful options, the principles of reflection create dynamic pieces of art. Kaleidoscopes are still popular today and often mass-produced as child?s toys. However, there are many handmade pieces that show off the art and craftsmanship in their creation.
