Upside Down Port Dickson is a gravity-defying interactive museum located in the coastal town of Port Dickson, Malaysia. The facility features a two-story residential structure where all furniture, household appliances, and interior decor are bolted to the ceiling to create the visual illusion of living on the roof. Visitors walk on the actual ceiling, allowing for photographs that appear to show individuals defying physics or hanging from the floorboards.
