Illusion 3D Art Museum Melaka

Melaka, MYS

The Melaka (Malacca) outpost of the Kuala Lumpur original, Illusion 3D Art Museum Melaka features around 40 hand-painted 3D artworks, tailor-made for hilarious optical illusion selfies. You can also insert yourself into your choice of six “augmented reality” 3D movies by filming against a green screen.

Illusion 3D Art Museum Melaka is located in downtown Melaka. It’s not a common stop on tours and most travelers visit independently, often on a rainy day. Expect to spend an hour or two shooting selfies of you and your crew in situations that might include a waterfall or surfing. For the full experience, experiment in the movie area, too. Don't be afraid to ask staff about the best angles or for help taking a picture.

  • Illusion 3D Art Museum Melaka is a great option for families and Instagrammers.

  • Be sure to charge your phone (or camera) and clear storage space before you arrive.

  • Illusion 3D Art Museum Melaka is not wheelchair accessible.

  • There are discounts for students, senior citizens, children, and Malaysian nationals.

Illusion 3D Art Museum Melaka is on the second floor of Dataran Pahlawan Megamall, behind A Famosa Fort in the heart of downtown Melaka. It’s about a 0.5-mile (800-meter) walk south of the Stadthuys and a short trishaw ride from the historic center.

Illusion 3D Art Museum Melaka is open from midmorning until late evening seven days a week—as long as Dataran Pahlawan Megamall is open. To make the most of the photo opportunities with minimal competition, visit earlier in the day on a weekday.

Malaysians have fallen hard for trick photography, and most major cities have at least one 3D art museum and often an upside-down attraction too. On Langkawi, check out Art in Paradise; in Kuala Lumpur, enjoy the original Illusion 3D Art Museum; head to George Town for the Penang 3D Trick Art Museum; or experience Funtasy House Trick Art in Ipoh. Melaka itself has two 3D art museums: Illusion 3D Art Museum and Magic Art Museum.
