Photo spot

The 'levitating' or 'giant' rooms where specific floor markings indicate exactly where the photographer should stand.

Insider tips

Wear socks, as you will be required to remove your shoes to enter the 3D art zones.

Bring a companion or a tripod, as the interactive 3D murals require a second person to act as the photographer for the correct perspective.

Charge your mobile device fully before arriving, as the museum is designed entirely for heavy photography usage.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to take photos from non-designated angles, as the 3D illusion effect will fail to register correctly on camera.

Good to know

Closed on certain public holidays; check local listings for festival-specific closures.

Etiquette
