Art in Paradise in Pattaya, Thailand: Engage in Interactive Art Fun

Opened in 2012, Art in Paradise Pattaya is Thailand’s first and largest 3D interactive art museum, with over 100 works of art that allow you to literally step into the painting. Spanning multiple themed zones, the museum brings together optical illusions, perspective tricks, and high-definition murals to create unbelievably real 3D effects.

Every artwork here is designed for audience participation. This means you don’t just look at the art; you become part of it. From floating on a magic carpet to escaping a dinosaur attack, every zone offers its own share of adventure, humour, and unforgettable moments.

Fun Fact: The entirety of murals is painted by Korean artists, who have a well-developed tradition of detailed elaboration and command of the effects of illusionism.
