Optical illusion: These art works at Versailles will make you look twice
- file photoWEB DESK: If you want to experience something that will leave you spell bound and mesmerized, then you should see the Palace of Versailles.
The Palace of Versailles is filled with beautiful, immoral works of art and embellished design features, but they're all historic pieces.
Now, there's a modern art installation that's turning heads.
Danish-Icelandic artist, Olafur Eliasson installed several large-scale pieces in and around the iconic French palace — most notably a towering waterfall that seems to cascade from nowhere in the middle of the sprawling gardens.
Hold your breathe and have a look at this breath taking work of art.
