Want to cross a rickety bridge over a waterfall? Sit in the shadow of a huge giraffe? Let a you-sized butterfly rest on your finger? Then 3D trick art is the art for you.

Go ahead, walk up to a piece of 3D artwork. You won’t believe your eyes. At least, you shouldn’t. The exhibits in a new 3D museum in Hong Kong seem to be coming at you.

Really the artworks are flat. They’re staying in one place. With a little imagination, though, you could see them differently. You could swing from Hong Kong's buildings like Spiderman. You could pet pandas. You could even play chess with an ancient Chinese character.

Trick artists work with optical illusions. Optical illusions use light, patterns, and color. Those send messages to your eyes. Your brain decides what the messages mean. With an optical illusion, your brain’s interpretation doesn’t match reality. The brain and the eye are still working according to God’s design—but in a surprising and exciting way!

Other museums around the world have 3D trick art too. Artists draw huge chalk 3D art in public places. Others sketch optical illusions on paper. Some create them with photography. Imagine how carefully 3D trick artists must work! Their works of art speak for themselves.
