Originally from Korea, the Trickeye Museum concept has spread globally, and its Singapore branch has become a must-visit for anyone looking to add some creative snaps to their Instagram feed.
This place is packed with 3D art exhibits designed to create the illusion that you’re part of the scene—think walking on water, escaping from a dragon, or balancing on a cliff.
It usually takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to explore, but the fun you’ll have makes time fly! I made this guide so you won’t get lost in all the illusions.

What to Do
Have fun at the optical illusions zone

The Trick Eye Museum’s optical illusion zones are like a giant, mind-bending playground. Each zone has a unique theme, like the “World of Masterpieces,” where I found myself striking a pose with a revamped Mona Lisa or stepping into a surreal version of Van Gogh’s Starry Night.
Then, I ventured into the “Safari Kingdom,” and things got even wilder. One minute, I was riding on the back of an elephant, and the next, I was dramatically “escaping” a crocodile’s open jaws—purely for the camera, of course!
Enjoy the interactive 3D art exhibits

The fun here isn’t just in looking at the art—it’s in becoming a part of it! The interactive 3D paintings and sculptures practically beg you to jump in and play. One minute, I was standing in front of a seemingly flat painting, and the next, I was posing mid-air, pretending to swing from vines.
One of my favourite spots was the “Mermaid’s Escape.” There, I found myself caught in an underwater scene, striking a pose that made it look like I was swimming with mermaids or fending off a sea monster.
Step into the augmented reality features

Before you even step inside the Trickeye Museum, do yourself a favour and download the app—it’s like having a magic wand in your pocket. Suddenly, the paintings weren’t just paintings anymore; they were moving, swirling, and transforming right in front of me.
My photos and videos were instantly boosted with animations, turning a simple pose into a mini-movie moment. It’s like adding a little sprinkle of magic dust to every snap you take.
Take photos at the Tricke Eye selfie points

When I decided to follow one of the markers’ suggestions, the magic really clicked. It turns out, these selfie spots are the secret sauce to getting those perfect, mind-bending photos.
Each marker shows you exactly where to stand and how to pose to create the coolest optical illusions. Before I knew it, I was standing at just the right angle to make it look like I was balancing on a tightrope or flying through the air!
Check out the signature exhibits

The signature exhibits are crafted to be eye-catching and offer the ideal backdrop for all your social media moments. One of the must-see spots at the Trick Eye Museum is the “Angel’s Wings” exhibit—an absolute favourite for anyone hunting for that perfect Instagram shot.
Everyone around me was getting in on the fun, too. I saw families, couples, and solo travellers all lining up for their turn, experimenting with different poses and angles to get that picture-perfect shot.
Sign up for some hands-on workshops

There are occasional hands-on workshops at the Trick Eye Museum so it isn’t just all about wacky selfies. I got to join an arts and crafts session where I made a tiny 3D illusion piece to take home.
It was such a unique souvenir and a great conversation starter for my friends back home. So if you’re planning a visit, definitely check their schedule ahead of time to see if any workshops are available.
Bring home something unique from the gift shop

Before leaving the Trick Eye Museum, I couldn’t resist stopping by the gift shop to see what quirky souvenirs they had in store. It felt like an extension of the museum itself, filled with fun, illusion-themed goodies that caught my eye.
I got a few 3D postcards, each one cleverly designed to pop out at you—perfect for sending a bit of the museum’s magic to friends and family. They also had these really cool illusion notebooks where the cover art seems to shift as you move it!
Grab a bite at the cafe

If you’re feeling peckish, there’s a small but charming refreshment spot at the museum to recharge before diving back into more optical illusions. I went for a classic iced latte to cool down, paired with a slice of the surprisingly delicious matcha cheesecake.
I also noticed they had some quick bites like freshly baked croissants and sandwiches, ideal for anyone looking to fuel up fast before heading back into the exhibits.
