Seoul 3 - Trick Eye Museum

Right in Hongdae (the university district), where we were staying, they have a place called "The Trick Eye Museum." It's good for bigger groups of people but it's not really a place where you can go alone because the whole point of it is to take funny pictures with your friends. It's full of all these paintings that are set up to look 3D so that you can interact with them. 

First, though, we were shuttled into a freezing cold room with ice displays. They had an igloo and dolls frozen in ice (???) and an ice house with an ice toilet and ice bed. They also had an ice slide we could use. The funny thing was that before we went in we were handed blankets to wrap around ourselves. It looked super stupid but it was necessary after a few minutes in the sub-zero room. Kinda cool though !



The rest of our time there we spent wandering through the trick eye museum displays. Some of them were based of of famous works of art and others were just silly. Honestly it was so much fun. I definitely recommend going even though the price is a tad bit steep (15,000 won). It's especially fun if you go with people that have a good sense of humor.
