Penang 3D Trick Art Museum, George Town

Don’t bother going. I was underwhelmed with my visit to the 3D museum in Penang. It is simply a bunch of not too great 2D paintings with shadows that are supposed to make your photos 3D (not true). It costs RM25 per person. There is a person who would help you take a few photos on your phone in the first area of this museum. (First two exhibits). They help you because they want to take a few photos so they can sell you copies at the end, which is fine but honestly, their photography skills is questionable. The room that I really wanted to take photos has a Van Gogh replica (starry night) in it and makes a tall person shorter than a short person. But that room was closed. I would not want to visit the 2nd time. Really not worth the money. I would highly recommend Upside Down Museum instead. As for Covid precautions, they asked us to show our MySerjahtera to make sure we are ‘Low Risk’ before we could buy tickets (that’s good) but there were a lot of people inside. It was a weekday when we visited, I would dread it if it was a weekend.

I must say that this location really confused me but it was really fun, the atmosphere was good. A variety of interesting and funny paintings and good ideas are presented here. There are paintings that seem to be real.. It is good to bring the family here.
