All this is an optical illusion.
The first hall of the museum is dedicated to optical illusions.Here visitors can see amazing drawings created by talented craftsmen from all over Russia. The secret of these paintings is that it’s impossible to see all their magic with the naked eye. These drawings are only the background, they are waiting for the main characters - the guests who wish to see the Museum of Illusions and the “House of Giants”. Just stand on a special mark in the room and ask a friend or employee of the exhibition hall to take a photo. In the resulting picture you will see yourself in a three-dimensional picture. There are plots and characters for every taste: the roof of St. Petersburg, romantic landscapes, heroes of your favorite films and fairy tales, the zombie uprising and many others.
Where do giants live?
It’s worth starting with the fact that the “HouseGiant ”, (Museum of Illusions, St. Petersburg) is not the only art site of this type in Russia. The most famous pavilion of giant things, located in Moscow on the Arbat. However, the museum of the northern capital is much larger than it. Carefully, the giant left home, but very soon will return. No wonder that his open book has remained here, an uneaten lunch and even toys lie as if very soon they will be playing with them again. The Museum of Illusions and the House of Giants is a place that allows you to experience your own proportions in a completely new way. Standing beside the giant's six-foot chair, it is difficult to feel big and strong. All items of exposure can be touched: do not forget to climb on a giant sofa, lie down between the book pages and hide in the bank from condensed milk.
