Miller Museum of Anamorphic Art marks first anniversary in Bengaluru
The Miller Museum of Anamorphic Art in Bengaluru is celebrating its first anniversary, showcasing the work of artist Shereen Miller. The museum is noted for being one of the few institutions globally dedicated to the optical illusion art form of anamorphosis.
Why it matters
The museum represents a unique cultural contribution to Bengaluru's art scene and preserves the legacy of a niche artistic discipline.
“This museum is a love letter from a mother and daughter to Bengaluru,” says Cheryl Anita Miller, founder and director of the Miller Museum of Anamorphic Art. Located in a quiet neighbourhood in Cooke Town, this is perhaps the only museum in the world dedicated to anamorphic art.
Anamorphosis is an art form based on optical illusions created with geometric precision and the museum has art by Cheryl’s mother, Shereen on display. The museum was established on September 28, 2025, and Cheryl talks about her mother’s journey and the decision to open a permanent home for her art in Bengaluru.
Born in 1941 to a conservative family in Benson Town, Shereen was not encouraged to pursue her passion as an artist, since, “Her parents not only considered it a male-dominated field, but also believed it wasn’t a repectable profession for a young woman to pursue,” says Cheryl.
