Have you been to Art in Paradise and want some new, creative photos? Then why not try the Magic Art Museum located centrally at MBK. We feel this trick eye museum is maybe not as large as its older counterpart but it has the added attraction of a ball park, funnier cartoon style photos and props!!

The Magic Art Museum is segregated into different sections, each with its own theme. Within each room you can step into the interactive art work and engage in the surroundings.

On the floor next to the art work there are camera symbols indicating where to stand for the best photo, in addition to, useful photographs showing you what the photos should look like when taken. Getting the right pose and angle can take time and skill….

Not the sporty type? Then you will probably prefer the funny zone where you can pose at urinals and climb trees. Within the funny zone there is also a large ship containing a ball park and as far as we’re aware it has no age limit as we were allowed to enter for some fun!
