But wait, how could he only be wearing a T-shirt and short trousers in such a chilly place?<\/p>\n<p>Here is the answer \u2013 the photo is taken at the city\u2019s first three-dimensional (3D) painting museum, Hong Kong 3D Museum. Opened in July 2014, the museum provides a unique experience for visitors to take offbeat photos with friends and family and interact with interesting paintings that appear three-dimensional when photographed. Over 70 3D paintings are displayed in the museum\u2019s 10,000 square-foot hall.<\/p>\n<p>The museum is divided into five zones of different themes, \u201cLove Journey\u201d, \u201cImaginary Wonderland\u201d, \u201c3D Experience Zone\u201d, \u201cChinese Culture\u201d and \u201cHong Kong Culture\u201d.

He says the museum hopes to promote local culture, both modern and old, through a special medium, 3D painting.<\/p>\n<p>Some paintings are based on iconic Hong Kong cityscapes, including famous landmarks that now only exist as part of the collective memory. For example, there are paintings of the demolished Queen\u2019s Pier and Kai Tak Airport, bringing visitors back to the good old days.<\/p>\n<p>Law says the museum does not only offer a fun photo-shooting experience, but also an opportunity for visitors, especially the young ones, to learn more about the city\u2019s history through the creative artworks.<\/p>\n<p>This month, the museum is holding \u201cThe First Ever One Piece 3D Exhibition\u201d, featuring the popular Japanese comic character, Luffy and his crew.
