ThailandDescription and is it worth visiting
One of the largest 3D museums in Asia – Art In Paradise Pattaya. It has over 150 paintings you can pose in front of, and thanks to the optical illusion, it looks real. So everyone can become part of the artwork. The museum is especially fun for photo lovers and groups of friends.
The paintings here are spread over two floors and divided into themed exhibits: art, ancient buildings, dinosaurs, animals and the underwater world, landscapes (Egyptian halls, underwater world, dinosaur jungle, European streets). A really cool part is the surreal scenes where, standing next to each other, one person looks like a dwarf and the other a giant, or the Venetian gondola scene that feels like it's actually moving.
This place is very popular, so on weekends the museum is packed with local tourists – better to visit on weekdays. Make sure to fully charge your camera because you'll be taking tons of photos. Plan for 1.5–2 hours to properly see all the halls and have your photo session.
At the entrance, you'll need to take off your shoes and put them in a plastic bag they give you.
