Art in Paradise

Chiang Mai


Just a whole lot of fun, this museum has a range of 3D optical-illusion art displays, from cliff faces and movie sets to a levitation room and a magic carpet ride where you can get in the scene, snap photos and just be silly. Kids in particular will enjoy it but adults often love it, too.
