If you’re looking for indoor fun when it’s cold/wet/too hot, head to ArtVo Melbourne at Level 1 of The District Docklands with your camera.
ArtVo Melbourne is Australia’s first immersive 3D Art trick-art photography gallery and it’s interactive fun for the whole family.
A renovation in August 2019 means that the whole gallery has 80 new hand-painted 3D art installations and walls, all under the theme of ‘fantasy’.
There are nine spectacular themed zones laid out in one level over 1400 square metres.
With the trick eye photography, you can ride the waves….
…take your hovercraft into outer space….
….join the circus….
….or meet Totoro!
Lady AB and Baby 2.0 are sometimes reluctant photo models, but they really enjoy their time posing at ArtVo!
They both race around the gallery in high excitement, making silly poses in front of their favourite 3D murals and then taking photos of each other using my old iPhone.
Each wall in the 3D Museum produces a fun 3D effect when a photo is taken from a designated ‘photo spot’ and by positioning your smartphone to portrait or landscape mode.
There are handy prompts on the ground directing you where to stand, what orientation to have on your phone and example photos to help you get the best out of the murals.
With the directions, even a kid can shoot some amazing photos!
We spend about an hour inside and then more time showing off our clever photos to family and friends!
Some of the backgrounds are more effective than others – we like the wine glass and anything in a jar!
ArtVo Melbourne is a fun experience for the whole family, with enough 3D art backdrops to suit every taste.
It is open 7 days a week and is a great indoor activity for the whole family in Melbourne.
