With its unique art features and installations, Dream Museum Zone in Bali offers you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of becoming a part of fairytale worlds. One of the most popular attractions in Bali, the Dream Museum Zone is a unique gallery franchise that allows one to experience paintings and installations as live action through the use of optical illusion.
The Dream Museum Zone is a trick eye museum, operating on 3 dimensional art by creating optical illusions. The museum in Bali showcases Balinese landscapes and scenes from Bali’s cultural history through the use of optical arts. Explore these captivating illusions as part of our Bali tour packages and immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage and stunning landscapes of Bali.
The museum houses nearly 120 different illusions, including that of underwater marine life and Egyptian pyramids. The inception of the Dream Museum Zone, or DMZ, occurred first in Korea. As the popularity of the museum grew quickly, DMZ developed multiple centers across the world, one of them being in Bali.
Unlike regular museums, the usual rule of “no touching” and “no photography” is not applied to the Dream Museum Zone. In fact, visitors are encouraged to feel their way through the various exhibits, which require the utility of all five senses in order to fully experience the Museum’s illusory tricks. Spectators are also encouraged to take photographs within the various exhibits, which places them in multiple fantastical situations.
The museum is divided into fourteen different zones according to the themes of the exhibits housed within them: Contemporary, Egypt, Aquarium, Safari, Renaissance, 18+ Area, Sport, Indonesia, Dream Park, Big & Small, Venice, Korean Pavilion, Luminescence Zone & Jurassic Park. While some exhibits are best enjoyed alone, most of the artwork requires two or more people to create a fun scenario.
The hospitable staff at the Dream Museum Zone are always ready for creative tips on how to best post within the exhibits, and also help choose the best angle to take a photograph form. It is compulsory to remove all shoes before entering the Museum premises, which is then carried to the exit gate by the staff to avoid any inconvenience on the part of the visitors.
Highlight: Among the attractions, Renaissance and Luminescence pavilions steal the hearts of anyone visiting here. The Renaissance pavilion has a lot of parodies of famous paintings. Mona Lisa carrying a fruit basket or Van Gogh standing with shaving foam or different animal themes paintings are all making the interior quite amusing. You are free to pose as you are really in these places or situations as the 3-dimensional illusion art makes everything look like alive.
