Funchal’s 3D Fun Art Museum blends optical illusions and hands-on posing, from a world upside down to Michelangelo-inspired wine gags.
“This was great fun only took us just over an hour but we had such a laugh. would recommend it”
Try 3D photo illusions in Funchal with playful scenes, helpful staff, and big photo moments. Great for rainy days and all ages.
“We wanted something to occupy and, better still, entertain us for about 90 minutes on our departure date from Funchal. We had seen many images on the internet of pavement artists who have created "trompe l'oeil" images in chalk, and from the 3D Fun Art Museum's website, this looked very promising. And we were NOT disappointed at all. Some of the scenes in real life seem improbable, but allow yourself to be impressed. Really, the more you allow yourself to get into the image, the better the final 2 dimensional image on your phone will look. Go on, give it a try! For most people, what this venue offers is…”
Tour Ronaldo’s Madeira roots and see the CR7 Museum in Funchal, with a private guide, viewpoints, and trophies for about 3 hours.
“Our guide Marco was extremely knowledgeable and had 100s of facts to inform us of. The trip was booked for my daughter who is football mad but I found the story of Ronaldo's rise from poverty to his philanthropy fascinating. It was interesting to learn more than you read in the press and to gain an insight into a fantastic footballer and very generous man. Marco was brilliant especially having to cope with road closures due to the rally in Funchal!! A fabulous tour!!”
