Museum of Illusions


In the main city of South Korea, many interesting places, and almost every tourist (especially the budget category) seeks to visit the Museum of Illusions here. No wonder it is named the most visited among this category of entertainment facilities of the capital: a year it is visited by about 500 thousand people! Here you can not only see unusual images in 3D, but also become their hero.

What is unusual about the museum?

An amazing exhibition awaits fans of unusual photos in the Museum of Optical Illusions in the Korean capital, Seoul . 3D effect is achieved due to skilful use of perspective - and no more secrets.

Unlike most traditional museums , here it is not only forbidden to photograph and touch the exhibits, but it is also encouraged! Tourists are delighted with the opportunity to get their photo from the world-famous Mona Lisa or, say, inside the soap bubble.

Exhibits

The Museum of Illusions contains about 100 paintings and sculptures, each of which seems to come to life in the camera lens. The structure of the museum is as follows: it is divided into 7 thematic zones:

They offer unique opportunities for visitors. For example, you can make unique shots, changing into the costumes of a noble Korean nobleman, a king or a geisha, to visit a mirror labyrinth. The Museum of Illusions includes another museum - the Ice Museum, which was opened in 2013. Here you can see the ice sculptures of different thematic focus and, of course, take a picture with them.

On the territory of the Museum of Optical Illusions of Seoul there is a souvenir shop, and very unusual. He offers not only to buy souvenirs , but also to participate in the process of their manufacture (for example, personally paint a doll of ceramics). And in the shop "Sweet moon" visitors, leaving the museum, get sweet souvenirs.

Features of visit

The museum works without days off, every day from 9 am to 21 pm, on the last day of every month - until 20:00.

For a ticket for an adult you will pay 15 thousand Korean won, the child will cost 12 thousand (this is $ 13 and $ 10 respectively). The ticket price includes visiting both museums (illusions and ice).

For the convenience of foreign guests, the museum employs a guide and translators into English, Japanese, Chinese and Thai.

How to get to the Museum of Illusions?

Its building is not so easy to find. If you take the subway, you need to get off at Hongde Ipku station (9th exit), go from McDonald's building to Sinson Solltonhan restaurant, then turn left and go to the alley behind the Holika Holika store. In the building of Sogo Plaza you need the 2nd underground floor. Parking is available here (on 3 underground and 1 floors). For museum visitors, it will be free for the first 30 minutes.

Very convenient and the fact that the Museum of Illusions you can visit not only in Seoul . In the Korean city of Busan , on the island of Jeju and in Singapore, there are also museum representations.
