India's first 3D trick art museum
The museum has been designed and created by artist A P Shreethar, and is located at Snow Kingdom, VGP complex, East Coast Road in Chennai.
"In this museum every piece of art is complete only when the viewer enters the frame. It is interactive art. The museum has 24 interactive art pieces," Shreethar told The New Indian Express.
He added that every piece of art in the museum is complete only when the viewer enters the frame. "It is interactive art. The museum has 24 interactive art pieces,” he is quoted as saying.
Ever since its inauguration this month (May 2016), the museum has seen an influx of several visitors.
Interestingly, while the art pieces are painted onto the walls, there are marking for visitors to stand and be a part of the painting. These markings help the photographer take the 'perfect shot!'
