Trick Eye Museum Hong Kong

The Trickeye Museum,  an art gallery with paintings created using 'trompe l'oeil' techniques that give each 2D art piece the illusion of being in 3D originated in Seoul, Korea. It has become popular that they made another 2 domestic and two overseas branches, in Singapore in Hong Kong.

The museum let the visitors  interact with the paintings, posing themselves just right so that they look as if they are part of the original work. You need to get the perfect spot, to get that effect. You have to pay attention to instruction posted in each painting as to where you stay for posing and taking pictures. Trick Eye Museun Hong Kong features around 50 optical illusion paintings and installations over 5 different themed zones. These zones are:

1. Secret Garden
This is the first themed zone you will see when you enter the museum. Different paintings about nature, plenty of blues & greens that are very pleasant to the eyes.

2. World of Masterpieces 
Create your own version of the world famous paintings, with yourself as the subject.

3. Great Adventure

I've been to Seoul, but we didn't have much time so we're not able to visit their Trick Eye Museum. I have seen the one in Hong Kong anyway. If you're going to visit The Peak in Hong Kong, make sure you visit the Trick Eye Museum. You have nothing much to do there anyway. And if you have extra time and money, visit the Madam Tussaud too!
