In St. Petersburg recently opened a new museum. The presented expositions are of an exclusively artistic nature, for today visitors are accessible to five locations. Museum of illusions and "House of Giants" - an excellent place for family leisure.
All this is an illusion of sight
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 you can not see all their magic with the naked eye. These drawings are just the background, they are waiting for the main characters - guests who wished 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 an employee of the exhibition hall to take a photo for memory. In the resulting image, you will see yourself in a three-dimensional picture. Here you can find stories and characters for every taste: the roof of St. Petersburg, romantic landscapes, the heroes of your favorite films and fairy tales, the zombie rebellion and many others.
Where do giants live?
It starts with the fact that the exposition "The House of the Giant", (Museum of Illusions, St. Petersburg) is by far not the only art-playground 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 its size. Carefully, the giant left home, but very soon will return. No wonder his open book remained here, a half-eaten lunch and even toys lie as if they will play with them again very soon. Museum of illusions and "House of Giants" is a place that allows you to feel your own proportions in a completely new way. Standing near the six-meter giant chair, it's hard to feel big and strong. All items of the exposition can be touched: do not forget to climb a giant sofa, lie down between book pages and hide in a jar of condensed milk.
Museum of Illusions, "The House of the Giant" and a glass labyrinth
Have you already photographed in the picture and take a walk around the giant's apartment? Well, it's time to try and find a way out of the glass labyrinth. Do not forget to wear protective gloves in front of the entrance (they are issued by employees serving the attraction). Part of the walls are transparent, and some have a mirror surface. For safety of movement keep hands extended forward. Now you just have to move in search of an exit. The museum was opened only recently, but there were already cases when someone from the number of guests who came to this location, ceased to navigate the space. However, even if you are lost, you do not need to panic, try to find other researchers or wait for help from the staff watching the labyrinth.
Butterfly garden and a contact zoo
The last two locations will be most interesting for children, but adults will not get bored here either. The butterfly garden is a spacious room, in which there are tropical butterflies in free flight. Be careful in this room - insects can be everywhere, under your feet or on your clothes. With butterflies it is allowed to be photographed, also you will learn more about their life cycle and diet. The last surprise from the exposition "The House of the Giant", (Museum of Illusions, St. Petersburg) is a contact zoo. The difference of this place from any other living corner in principle: every visitor can pat and feed the animals. All pets of the zoo are vaccinated, well-groomed and educated. Stroke a lemur or raccoon, pick up a guinea pig, a rabbit and do not forget to scratch the parrot.
