All 3D artworks within the house were hand-painted by local Malaysian artists.
The museum spans multiple floors within a preserved historical shophouse structure.
The collection frequently updates its murals to maintain variety for repeat visitors.
The museum explicitly encourages visitors to touch and interact with the paintings to complete the visual illusions.
Funtasy House Trick Art is an interactive museum located in the heart of Ipoh's Old Town featuring over 20 hand-painted, illusionistic art installations. The exhibits are designed to create 3D perspectives when viewed from specific camera angles. The collection includes themed rooms that allow visitors to integrate themselves into surreal scenarios, such as gravity-defying environments or giant-scale objects. Each piece is designed to be highly photogenic, encouraging visitors to act as part of the artwork. The venue is housed within a restored heritage shophouse, blending traditional architecture with modern entertainment. It serves as a popular family-friendly destination for those looking for indoor activities within the city center.
The 'giant' or 'gravity-defying' rooms where floor markings ensure the perfect alignment for the illusion.
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.
Do not stand outside the designated 'photo points' marked on the floor, as the 3D effect will not align properly for your camera.
Remove your shoes before entering the exhibit areas; socks are recommended for hygiene.
