Eye-Trick Pony at the 3D Art in Paradise | Bangkok

French philosopher Voltaire once said that “illusion is the first of all pleasures”—and one of its finest forms was the trickery of our visual sense. Bangkok’s 3D Art in Paradise did just that through its artworks daubed vividly on the walls and other installations conveying images of a different realm.

Inception, you say?

Instagrammable images awaited visitors inside. From chilling inside an upside-down room to humming a Steppenwolf song while pretending to be enjoying a magic carpet ride and many others in between, one could come up with a fascinating set of interactive photographs inside the 3D Art in Paradise museum.

Some paintings might have appeared to depict an unassuming scene, but once you moved a few steps away and let your imagination run wild, you could easily conjure a scene straight from a fantasy book.

From swimming with the sharks to being in the middle of a car crash, to crossing a hanging bridge, to interacting with a bunch of wild animals and more, both the young ones and adults would surely have a field day inside the 3D Art in Paradise museum. I sure did—despite my initial apprehensions about not finding the place in tune with my taste.

Art in Paradise was divided into six zones featuring varying concepts such as the neoclassical period, fantasy worlds, countryside, modern cities, an underwater sanctuary, and even contemporary and classical art (Yeah, insert yourself into the paintings of Van Gogh, Monet, and Da Vinci). Art in Paradise gifted every visitor a fun opportunity to display their creativeness in blending in with the museum's inventive 3D artworks.
