Art In Island: 3D Art Gallery is an interactive art exhibition, or "selfie museum", in Cubao in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines.[1][2]

History

[edit]

Art In Island was founded by South Korean businessman Yun Jae Kyoung. The initial exhibits were completed within four months by 18 Korean visual artists.[3] It opened on December 25, 2014.[1]

Facilities and exhibits

[edit]

Art In Island is housed within a two-storey building covering 3,800 square metres (41,000 sq ft).[3] Marketed as the "biggest 3D museum in Asia", exhibits are primarily murals which rely on optical illusions, which causes the two-dimensional works to be perceived as three-dimensional. Visitors are encouraged to photograph themselves to become "part" of the compositions.[3][4] In 2015, Art In Island had around 100 unique paintings, including works derived from the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci and The Scream by Edvard Munch.[5]
