Alive 3D Art Gallery is an interactive indoor museum located within the Bandar Dataran Segar commercial area in Port Dickson. The facility features over 50 large-scale, hand-painted 3D murals designed to create optical illusions when viewed from specific angles. Visitors are encouraged to interact with the paintings by posing in positions that integrate them into the scene. The artworks span various themes, including underwater environments, classic fairy tales, and adventurous landscapes. It serves as a localized leisure destination primarily catering to families and groups seeking novelty photography.
