Art In Island: Instagrammable Fun For The Whole Family

This place is not your traditional art museum. The paintings are in 3D!


Have you ever wanted to be part of an artwork? Art In Island allows you to do exactly that! It’s one of the biggest 3D art museums in Asia at 3,800 square meters.

There are about 200 masterpieces in this two-story structure. Over a dozen 3D artists from Korea did all the art.

Aside from the 3D paintings, there are also installations. Art In Island encourages visitors to become part of the art. They can do that by sitting or standing in certain spots. There’s something for everyone here!

Tips for explorers

Before you go to Art In Island, make sure you’ve got a pair of socks! If you don’t, it’s OK. You can buy non-slip socks for a fee. You can take as many photos as you want, but don’t use your flash. Since you don’t have to check in your bags, you can bring extra props or clothes!

If you come across artwork or installations that are confusing, don’t worry! There are collages and photo stickers at each spot meant to give visitors ideas on how and where to pose. Don’t feel bound to follow the examples, though. The best part of going to this cool museum is being able to exercise your creativity!
