Trick art or trompe-l’oeil (literally, to deceive the eyes, in French) has been around for years. It is an art technique that uses realistic two-dimensional images to create optical illusions that make a painting seem three dimensional.

There are many trick art museums around the world like in Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Japan and France. The Trick Art Museum at i-City in Shah Alam, Selangor is the first of its kind in Malaysia, according to the Malaysia Book of Records.
