Since it's opening last December 2014,
Art in Island photos taken my friends have flooded the social media.
Good thing they are open during holidays so the family has taken that
opportunity to drop by. We came all the way from Manila so we're really
glad that there was no traffic since it's a non-work and non-school
day.
The location is easy to find using
Google Maps or
Waze. There's a big signage and a huge parking space so you'll know you are in the right place.
They have year round promos which we only learned when we arrived there. You can take advantage of them especially the Birthday Promo so you can have a free entrance before, on the day and after your birthday.
Just show your ID to avail of the student rate.
There are art works even outside so it's free! ;)
Upon entry, we already played with the first thing we saw.
This is where we surrendered our tickets, keep the half part if you intend to use it for their
Loyal Customers Promo so you can get 50% off! My mom and siblings also bought their slippers at 150 php each. I was fine with being barefoot. (You have to deposit your shoes and you can also deposit some of your belonging if you wish)
All the arts in the museum are illusion arts.
The first part showcases the classic illusion arts and not interactive. Most of them, I'm already familiar with.
There are certain points where you should stand to make the illusion work.
There are artworks that are huge like this one.
Some involve stairs and ramps.
The space is well-utilized even the staircase.
Each room entrance has an art too.
There are so many arts so alot at least 2 hours for you to fully enjoy them.
There are clean restrooms and clogs you can borrow.
Here's a sample of one of my shots. I could never succeed in dunking in real life but I did pretty well here right? =)
Mona Lisa will bid you farewell.
There's a cafeteria on your way out. (Still a no shoe portion)
These are the photos and model of the Korean painters who made Art in Island possible in just 4 months. Yep! The concept is Korean (from Jeju Island specifically).
Overall, we
Travel Tripsters highly recommend
Art in Island. This should definitely be on your list to visit within the Metro Manila area. Especially now the photography and social media sharing is a thing, a lot of people will surely appreciate this!
