As promised last week, I’ll be introducing you to three museums that are must-visits in Seoul! And from the last blog post you already got to know more about ‘Alive Museum‘.

Now, for this post, we will know more about the famous ‘Trick Eye Museum‘ that’s smack in the middle of Hongdae, a place popular to most youths, especially those in search of art-related stuff.

TRICK EYE MUSEUM

The museum boasts of their ‘optical illusion paradise’ in the middle of the urban jungle that last throughout the entire year. The museum combines a new concept of exhibition space about culture and entertainment And as it’s name suggest, ‘Trick Eye’ (Trick of the eye) refers to a traditional art technique ‘Trompe-l’oeil’ that turns 2D paintings into 3D images through the use of optical illusion.

As a flagship museum, the Trick Eye Museum in Seoul is a 4-in-1 complex that you can visit and where you can enjoy various optical illusion art and other kinds of art and activities that will thrill you and bring a lot of fun to your trip to Seoul.

This museum’s four specialty that it currently boasts about are it’s Trick Eye AR Museum, it’s fun-rich Trickeye app, the Ice Museum and also the Love Museum.

Back then, during our trip to Korea in 2017, we visited everything except for the Love Museum as it contains ‘mature’ content. Well, if you’re old enough and is open to the kind of art that they exhibit there, it’s fine. But still it’s your personal preference at the end of the day. Either way, with or without it, my visit there was still super fun. It was worth the travel though we sort of got lost around Hongdae for that.

Here are some other photos inside the museum from their website:
