Trompe-L'oeil works great indoors, too. You can inexpensively add all kinds of detail, such as coffered ceilings, without having to pay a carpenter! A favorite is making the ceiling look like it is open to the sky. I've seen it used to repair badly damaged marble, it was so good you had to look really close to distinguish the paint from the marble.

There is a nice Trompe-L’oeil in Madrid called "Los Pacos" where two former neighbours are represented on the collapsed side of a building: http://madridfotoafoto.blogspot.com.es/2008/06/trampantojo-e... (Spanish)

This website features more examples of this kind of works under the label "trampantojos".

When one designs self-driving cars without LIDAR, one should remember that illusions like these exist.

So true... http://imgur.com/gallery/mOTHgnf

Nasty. That's totally irresponsible. At night in an unfamiliar neighborhood that could easily cause a fatality.

Wow, that is really wonderful. Really makes the city look more lively.

I really like the Trompe-L'oeil in Brussels, when I visited their once. They had famous characters like Tin-tin. It made the city express that it had culture, just even during the first glance.
