Phuket Trickeye Museum is an interactive 3D painting exhibition offering amazing photo opportunities and great fun for the whole family. Located on the corner of Montri and Phang Nga roads in a large two-storey building (which used to be a popular movie theatre until 2002), Phuket Trickeye Museum features a gallery of about 100 painted and sculpted scenes using trompe-l’oeil (French for ‘deceive the eye’) techniques, placing visitors in hilarious unreal world-like situations.
Trompe-l’oeil is an ancient painting technique that requires a certain geometrical skill; the idea is to create a three dimensional illusion on a two dimensional (flat) background. Perspectival illusionism rules at Phuket Trickeye Museum, and you are sure to be fooled by the impressive paintings on display here.
