Insider tips

Bring a companion to act as your photographer, as the illusions require one person to be in the scene and one to shoot from a specific marked spot.

Check your camera battery and storage space beforehand, as the high number of installations encourages extensive photography.

Wear comfortable clothes that allow for crouching, sitting, or posing on the floor to match the perspective of the art.

What to avoid

Do not stand outside the designated 'photo points' marked on the floor, as the 3D effect will not align properly for your camera.

Etiquette

Remove your shoes before entering the exhibit areas; socks are recommended for hygiene.
