Trick Eye Museum Singapore Review
Absolutely loved our visit, so many fun shots to experiment with and indulge your creative side! However, it is easy to see why a crowded museum with small children running wild would make the experience less appealing. We were lucky, visiting after 5 p.m. by chance and had a blast, Although popular in locations in the East, these types of venues are rare in Europe so we were thoroughly impressed. Give it a try!
Gear up to let your imagination run free in the museum. The Trick Eye Museum, in Singapore, is one of the international acclaimed optical art museums of Korea and is one of the best places to visit in Singapore, that incorporates Augmented Reality features. The feature of AR would help bring the art exhibits to life. Let 3D paintings take a backseat, now with Trick Eye Museum’s personal and exclusive AR features incorporated onto the 80 optical illusion art installations, you can drench and soak yourself into the exciting lights, sounds and other amazing effects that bring about hyper-realistic illusions.
