Travel Buddies: #ThePacuanderers (Sam, Hanna, Tonyo)
Sam & I caught a glimpse of the Trick Art Museum in Sentosa, Singapore last year. We didn't go in due to budget constraints (a choice between the museum and the Singapore Cable Car!) We amused ourselves with the preview art outside the museum which were really amazing enough :)
So when we heard about "Art in Island," the so-called biggest trick art museum in Asia, we couldn't wait to take Tonyo, an art/ painting/ picture lover himself! Our 4-year old was so excited to go, he could barely sleep the night before. At Php 500/ head (Php 400 for students/ seniors/ PWDs), the tickets were a bit pricey. However, this buys you unlimited time to roam around the museum and take all the photos you want to your heart's content!
Art in Island is an interactive art museum where you can pose to be part of the paintings on the walls and floors. We'll let the photos speak for themselves!

The paintings were amazing! Really, the guys who did the paintings must be masters themselves. Big applause! It was cool that the artists were recognized as you leave the exhibit.
After 2 hours (or maybe more?) of browsing, posing, chasing Tonyo - we all agreed that the ticket price was worth it. I was exhausted, but not bored. There must have been more than 100 artworks there, which you can utilize every which way you want. The boys were so energetic doing all those poses and facial expressions. And I thought I was the one with the Thespian blood! Natalbugan nila ako sa acting!
We recommend this trip for all ages (be prepared to walk, though!). You must have love and enjoyment for art and having your picture taken, though. Forget it if you are camera-shy. Get your game face on and be fast since there could be alot of competition for some of the photo ops.
Be creative. Keep your eyes open to the camera stickers on the floor, which shows you the best angle to shoot from to get more realistic photos. Be considerate to others (who also want their pictures taken, or those who are taking pictures -- you might walk across the line of 'fire'). Bring socks (you have to check in your shoes at the entrance).
All that picture-taking might make you hungry - the museum has 2 small cafes, but has limited meal choices (rice-in-a-tumbler, rice burgers, coffee,drinks). You might want to go to the museum with tummies full, for a more energetic experience!
Tonyo's verdict: Enjoyed it so much! He was already asking us if we can go back the next day! Good news for repeat visitors... just show your used ticket and a photo of you in the museum, and get 50% off.
