Trick Art Museum

'Trick Art' is a popular fad in Korea right now.  The term refers to 1 or 3 dimensional paintings that produce an optical illusion when interacted with and photographed.  It's difficult to explain, but you'll understand once you see the pictures... 

You can eat these jelly beans, but you must  not taste them!
NO TASTING!!!

NOTE - The lighting in the place is designed for point-and-shoot and cellphone cameras, so we had some difficulty (due to the Koreans getting up in our business and rushing us along and our general lack of photography knowledge ) adjusting the settings on the big camera to find a medium between washed out and noisy.  This was as good as we could get it.

Here, the big monkey is either lifting Judy-monkey by the head or trying to snap Judy-monkey's neck.  You be the judge.

Home on the Range

This one was one of the only non-interactive illusions in the museum.  It was a 3 dimensional perspective painting that looked flat when viewed from straight ahead.

Koreans have a weird relationship with creepy cats...

Pretty sure this was the exact 'illusion' they used to use on the Batman TV series with Adam West every time he and Robin scaled a building!

Walking the plank

It looks a whole lot more believable when oblivious grandma isn't walking through the picture...  She had no idea we were even in the room with her, much less taking pictures.
