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.
Trick Eye Museum Busan is a must-visit for families and travelers with a love of photography.
Admission is free with a Trick Eye Passport, which gives you access to Trick Eye museums across the globe.
The museum is accessible to strollers and wheelchairs.
Trick Eye Museum Busan is located in the Busan Film Experience Center, which is within walking distance of the seafront. You can reach the museum by taking metro Line 1 to the Jungang Station, a 5-minute walk from the museum. Alternatively, take bus numbers 15, 86, 126, 186, or 190, exiting at the Baeksan Memorial Hall, Korea First Bank, or Jungang-dong Community Service Center stops.
The museum is open from 10am-6pm, Tuesday–Sunday. If you’re visiting Busan during the rainy months of October through February, a visit to the indoor museum can be a popular way to stay dry.
Near the Trickeye Museum Busan, you’ll find a museum that’s just as visually stimulating, but in a different way. Spread over three stories, the Busan Museum of Art features modern and contemporary art by South Korean artists, as well as works by the author and painter Henry Miller, alongside modern Japanese artworks and paintings that depict Vietnam throughout the ages.
