Korea dabbles in a bit of harmless deceit with their many trick art museums scattered across the country and they are worth visiting, especially when you've got a curious little one with a love for a spot of magic. Trick art museums have taken artistry to the next level by making optical illusions with their fine skills.
The Alive Museum in Insadong, which is one of the most famous trick art museums, is only a hop, step and a jump away from Travelodge Myeongdong Euljiro, and in keeping with its name, the art does feel very much alive. Become a part of abstract art and snap some mind-boggling pictures while you're there.
