PINOY ECO TRAVELER: Art in Island Travel: An interactive 3D Museum

It's really my dream to visit a museum even before but I have no ample time in traveling to historical places. One day I learned that here in my place there is an interesting 3D Museum and I got interested because they offer for free entrance on the day or after / before your birthday. On the day of my birthday I make it not to forget to visit this place, so here are my photos and I considered it part I of my travel on this beautiful museum since I was not able to finish to visit all the 3D paintings.

Don’t be bored by visiting traditional art museum, now you can visit by playing and interacting with 3D art paintings here at Art in Island museum, you are allowed to touch the huge paintings and take pictures and videos as long as you want. Yes, that’s right. In my case I visited this place alone a day after my birthday and my entrance is free. I was so happy but I was not able to finish all my picture takings because my phone got low batt. So anyway I should plan for another part 2 visit on that place.

Art in island is located at 15 avenue at the heart of Cubao near Araneta Center. There is an entrance gate at Cubao Expo. It is a 3D art museum and largest in Asia. Their ultimate goal is to make you happy and to be known works of art more accessible, appealing to a wider audience through the use of optical illusion and 3D paintings of famous works and scenes.

THE CHALLENGE OF BEING ALONE ON THIS MUSEUM
