Alles über Trick Eye Museum

Was Sie erwartet

Opened in 2010, Trick Eye Museum was one of the first museums to combine traditional illusion art with augmented reality technology. The name “Trick Eye” comes from the concept of “trick of the eye,” where flat images appear three-dimensional. A standard ticket usually includes access to the Ice Museum, a unique section where everything from furniture to sculptures is made entirely of ice. The museum is located in the Hongdae area, known for its vibrant streets, street performances, and youthful atmosphere.

Warum diese Tour buchen

The museum is designed for photography, so bringing a smartphone or camera is essential. Many exhibits suggest poses to help create the perfect illusion, and the augmented reality app enhances the experience by animating some artworks. The Ice Museum inside is kept around −5°C, so warm clothing is recommended or you can use jackets provided at the entrance. Visitors of all ages are welcome, and touching and interacting with the exhibits is encouraged, unlike traditional museums.

Wissenswertes vor der Abreise

The museum is open year-round, making it a great choice in any season. Weekday afternoons, between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM, are usually less crowded, ideal for photos.
