ome mid-2014, Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) will be
home to the region’s first Trickeye Museum. This new interactive museum will be sited at the integrated resort’s
Waterfront. Occupying an area of 800 square metres,
the museum will feature six theme zones, with 80 threedimensional paintings and optical illusion masterpieces.
“Trickeye” is derived from the French compound word - Trompe-l’oeil –
meaning trick of the eye. Guests visiting this museum can expect paintings that stimulate creativity and imagination techniques through their
vision. Not only will they see with their eyes, the museum requires the active participation of guests to become subjects within the masterpieces.
In conceptualising the museum at RWS, Trickeye took into account some
of the most remarkable aspects of the Singapore – a truly cosmopolitan
city with a thriving ecosystem of nature and wildlife – and transferring
them into artworks. The six zones will cover the themes of Love, Circus,
Masterpiece, Safari, Fairytale and Adventure. The works displayed will also
blend together cultures of East and West in interesting ways, reflecting
the melting pot culture of Singapore.
Ms. Sujin Seong, Director of Trickeye Museum said, Since we initiated this
popular concept in Seoul back in 2010, we have always aimed to expand the
footprint of Trickeye beyond the shores of Korea. As a key tourism hub, Singapore was the obvious choice, and Resorts World Sentosa is a prime spot to set
up our first overseas venture. We believe that Trickeye Museum will complement the resort’s existing offerings and provide more compelling reasons for
tourists from around the world to come visit.
Mr. Goh Chye Boon, Executive Vice President of Resort Operations, Resorts
World Sentosa, said, We are proud to have Trickeye Museum join the exciting
line-up of attractions at Singapore’s first integrated resort. As a key player in
the tourism industry, Resorts World Sentosa will continuously refresh our offerings to attract new and repeat visitors, and to stay on top of the game in this
dynamic industry.
Trickeye Museum will be one of the anchor tenants at the Resort’s Waterfront, and Mr. Goh added that, We will continue to
