Trick Eye Museum Busan

The Basics

Place yourself in the artwork at Trick Eye Museum Busan, where paintings make you appear to be boiling in a witch’s cauldron, walking along icy crevasses; and surfing on the backs of sharks. Then, visit the VR zone, where state-of-the-art headsets and accompanying physical receptors transport you to Busan’s top attractions, as well as imaginary scenarios. During the weekends and Korean school holidays, Trick Eye Museum Busan can get especially busy, so save time by booking a skip-the-line admission ticket in advance.

Busan Museum of Art

Near the Trickeye Museum Busan, you’ll find a museum that’s just as visually stimulating, but in a different way.
